Cadet Organizations

Arnold Air Society

Arnold Air Society, named for the famous five star general Henry "Hap" Arnold, is a professional, honorary, service organization dedicated to the support and advocacy of the Air Force. Though there are AAS squadrons at colleges all over the United States, University of Cincinnati is where Arnold Air Society first originated in the summer of 1947. Ever since, the UC AAS squadron has grown to become one of the largest and most successful Arnold Air Society chapters in the country. AAS Cadets attend a challenging course of cadet training in order to be initiated into the squadron and are required afterwards to participate in the group's service projects and contribute to the upkeep of the organization and the training of new initiates. Involvement in this society of comradery is just one of the many opportunities offered to AFROTC cadets.

Color Guard

The AFROTC Color Guard, like AAS, is a student run organization. In training, cadets are taught to properly honor our nation's flag and perform the drill and ceremonies. These may include parades, saber arches for weddings, Revelry and Retreat, presenting the colors for university sporting events, and many others. For first year cadets, joining Color Guard gives them the opportunity to make friends and become more accustomed to ROTC. Second year cadets appreciate the advanced preparation in marching, which is very helpful at field training. Joining color guard is a great way to get ahead in both leadership and military skills.

New!
