JLBC Regulation 147-2: Establishing Standards for Leadership and Training Programs Proponent Agency: JLBC Directorate Effective Date: 01-03-2025
The JLBC Cadet Corps (Junior Leadership Bootcamp LLC) has released Regulation 147-2, a comprehensive framework designed to govern the organization, administration, operations, training, and support of its programs. Modeled after the structure of JROTC Regulation 147-2, this document outlines policies to ensure consistent standards and effective management of JLBC programs across schools, learning centers, and community organizations.
Purpose and Mission
JLBC Regulation 147-2 sets forth guidelines to standardize operations and promote leadership development among cadets. The primary mission of JLBC is to “motivate young people to be better citizens” by fostering leadership skills, character development, and physical fitness.
The program also emphasizes STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education, preparing cadets for careers that contribute to society. Cadets are encouraged to become responsible citizens and pursue personal growth through structured training and community service.
Organizational Structure
The JLBC Directorate oversees all operations, including curriculum design, instructor certification, and policy enforcement. Regional commanders provide direct support to local units, ensuring adherence to program standards and offering guidance on recruitment, training, and logistics.
Local JLBC units are responsible for day-to-day program activities, maintaining compliance with JLBC policies, and reporting progress to higher authorities.
Program Administration
Enrollment and Eligibility: Students in grades 4 through 12 are eligible to join the JLBC Cadet Corps. Enrollment requires a completed application, parental consent, and a physical fitness assessment.
Instructor Requirements: Instructors must meet strict qualifications, including prior leadership experience, post-secondary education, and JLBC certification. They are expected to serve as role models and mentors, delivering curriculum content and supervising cadet activities.
Facilities and Funding: Partnering schools, churches, and community centers must provide classroom space, storage, and access to physical training areas. JLBC supplies uniforms, training materials, and partial funding for instructor salaries, while institutions may contribute to additional expenses.
Operations and Curriculum
The JLBC program focuses on five key areas:
Leadership Development – Cadets learn decision-making, team-building, and conflict-resolution skills.
Citizenship and Civic Responsibility – Emphasis on civic engagement, government processes, and community service.
Physical Fitness and Wellness – Regular fitness assessments and training to promote health.
First Aid and Health Education – Training in emergency response and basic medical care.
STEM Integration – Incorporating technology and innovation into leadership education.
Teaching Methods: Instruction is delivered through classroom sessions, hands-on activities, field trips, and leadership drills. Cadets also participate in competitions, including drill team, color guard, and academic challenges.
Cadet Advancement and Evaluation
Cadets are evaluated based on academic performance, leadership development, physical fitness, and participation in service activities. Advancement in rank depends on performance reviews, leadership demonstrations, and time in service.
Extracurricular activities such as team competitions and field exercises allow cadets to refine their skills and build camaraderie.
Training and Instructor Support
JLBC instructors undergo an initial certification course followed by annual workshops and refresher programs. This ensures they remain current with curriculum updates and safety protocols.
Safety and Risk Management: Safety is a top priority for JLBC programs. Instructors are responsible for enforcing safety measures during all activities and following established emergency procedures.
Compliance and Accountability
JLBC programs are subject to inspections and evaluations to maintain compliance with established policies. Partnering institutions must submit quarterly progress reports and remain in good standing to continue operating JLBC programs.
Legal and Liability Considerations
JLBC requires cadets and instructors to sign liability waivers acknowledging the inherent risks of training exercises. The organization carries liability insurance and mandates that partnering institutions provide additional coverage as needed.
Termination and Amendments
The agreement between JLBC and partner institutions may be terminated with 30 days’ written notice or immediately in cases of non-compliance, property damage, or failure to meet enrollment standards. Amendments to the regulation require written approval from both parties.
Conclusion
JLBC Regulation 147-2 establishes a structured approach to leadership training, focusing on accountability, safety, and personal growth. By setting clear standards, the JLBC Cadet Corps aims to provide young people with the skills and knowledge needed to become effective leaders and responsible citizens.
