3 September 2024 MEMORANDUM FOR ALL AFROTC UNITS FROM: HQ AFROTC/DO 60 W. Maxwell Blvd Maxwell AFB AL 36112 SUBJECT: Introductory Note to Air Force Reserve Officers’ Training Corps Instruction (AFROTCI) 36-2011, Vol 1, Cadet’s Guide to Leadership Laboratory (LLAB) Curriculum This revised syllabus serves as the approved guidance for Air Force Senior ROTC units in conducting Leadership Laboratory (LLAB) and is provided for immediate implementation as appropriate. Many Samples of Behavior (SOB) have been re-organized to different chapters, a few SOBs were deleted, and SOB 8.9 was added to ensure detachments practice use of the Form 2, however no substantive changes were made to any previously published SOBs. Further, HQ AFROTC/DOT will provide Mission Qualification Training (MQT) for the Form 2 both synchronously and asynchronously to better equip and prepare Detachment cadre for use of the form as part of each cadet’s development and feedback. This syllabus also reflects a nomenclature shift from “initial military training” to “Basic Cadet” and from “field training preparation” to “Basic Cadet Leader”. This shift more accurately aligns the implications of General Military Course (GMC) training designations with that of the Professional Officer Course (POC) . The updated designations create a clear trendline in expectations of each cadet from orientation all the way through the final year, a trendline that descriptively reflects increased responsibility, complexity, and authority – as both a follower and a leader. Given that this revision is being published after most schools have started fall classes, Detachment Commanders are empowered to implement changes judiciously so as to not unnecessarily disrupt the continuum of training already happening at their locations. Still, they should highlight the general shift in emphasis from a focus on preparation for field training, to a focus on leadership development. In that vein, specific guidance previously included in the Vol 1 related to field training only will be released with the Field Training 2025 Operations Order at a later date. //signed//das/3 Sep 24// DAVID A.
