Welcome to AFROTC Detachment 020 at the University of Arizona where our mission is to produce leaders for the Air Force and build better citizens for America. The Reserve Officer Training Corps, through intense training and course work, opens the door for entry into the finest Air Force in the world. Our cadets have gone on to serve in a range of career fields, from medical to aviation. Since 2001, Detachment 020 has been recognized as the top Air Force ROTC detachment in the Southwest and has achieved a ranking in the top ten percent of the nation. We offer cadets an ideal training environment that instills the values of integrity, service before self, and excellence that develop leaders, and power the world’s strongest Air Force. These values, coupled with the surroundings of a large accredited university, help to develop the type of well rounded officers the Air Force is seeking. Cadets are exposed to numerous activities and organizations that reach out to the local community while strengthening the skills necessary to benefit their careers in the military. We offer scholarships for a range of academic programs, open to both high school and college students who excel in academics and display the leadership potential that the U.S Air Force is looking for. We welcome you to AFROTC Detachment 020 and look forward to assisting you on your flight into the United States Air Force.
