The mission of the Naval Service Training Command is to transform volunteers into Naval Service Professionals. We instill and reinforce enduring core values, knowledge, and skills to prepare them for the fleet. Naval Service Training Command oversees Recruit Training Command, Officer Training Command, Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps and Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps.
"These recruits are entrusted to my care. I will train them to the best of my ability. I will develop them into smartly disciplined, physically fit, basically trained sailors. I will instill in them, and demonstrate by my own example, the highest standard of Honor, Courage and Commitment."
Supplying the fleet with top-quality basically trained Sailors ready for follow-on training is why we are here. The leadership of Recruit Training Command cannot do this alone. It takes the dedication, hard work, and selflessness of our committed staff to pull everything together.
To develop civilians, enlisted, and newly commissioned personnel morally, mentally, and physically and imbue them with the highest ideals of honor, courage, and commitment in order to prepare graduates for service in the fleet as Naval Officers.
The NROTC Program was established to develop midshipmen mentally, morally and physically and to imbue them with the highest ideals of duty, and loyalty, and with the core values of honor, courage and commitment in order to commission college graduates as naval officers who possess a basic professional background, are motivated toward careers in the naval service, and have a potential for future development in mind and character so as to assume the highest responsibilities of command, citizenship and government.
The NJROTC program mission is to instill in students in United States secondary educational institutions the values of citizenship, service to the United States, personal responsibility and a sense of accomplishment.
