JROTC Drill Rifles

MICC - Fort Knox is purchasing 7,225 Drill Rifles and additional accessories for the U.S. Army Cadet Command JROTC Programs. The Army JROTC Program has required units to conduct Drill and Ceremony with its Cadets since it began over a 100 years ago. Approximately 1701 of the 1744 Army JROTC units have an active Drill and Ceremony program wherein nearly 30,000 Cadets participate in 4 levels of competition (local/school district, Brigade, Army Nationals, and All Service Nationals). Each Army JROTC unit is authorized 45 drill rifles for its Cadets. More than 50% of the drill rifles in USACC JROTC inventory were purchased nearly six (6) years ago. Although adequate at the time, because of new composite stock material they are not of the competition quality required for most drill competitions conducted at the regional and national levels today.
