About afrotc
In one form or another, ROTC has been a part of the University of Alabama since World War I. From 1916 to 1946, cadets received commissions as officers in the Army’s Air Corp. During World War II, Major General Oliver Lewis, Lieutenant Thomas H. Borders, and hundreds more trained for war through the Air ROTC branch of the Army, including Lieutenant Maxwell, for whom Maxwell Air Force Base is named.
Air Force ROTC presents many opportunities for students. It is a great way for college students to pursue higher education with a degree of their choosing at a civilian institution while developing leadership skills as they prepare to serve their country. There’s no greater honor and fulfillment than to serve in the greatest Air and Space Forces the world has ever known!
Attending a school as large and diverse as the University of Alabama, and being far away from home and friends can be a challenging experience for new students. Our program affords students a sense of community and belonging that is forged through shared experiences with military training. Our Cadet Wing is run by cadets with guidance and oversight from the Cadre (active duty personnel assigned to the detachment). The active duty personnel teach the cadets about the Air Force, help to develop leadership skills, and supervise the cadet training environment during all training events (physical training, required class time, leadership training at Leadership Laboratory, and so on).
If you are the kind of person to answer the nation's call for exceptional individuals to lead the exceptional Airmen of the United States Air and Space Forces, then Air Force ROTC Detachment 010 at the University of Alabama is the right place for you!
