Detachment 605 - Home of the "Screaming Blackbirds"

The Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFROTC) is an educational program designed to provide theoretical and applied leadership experience to become an Air Force or Space Force Officer, while completing your bachelor's degree. Air Force ROTC is the largest and oldest source of commissioned officers for the Air Force. The organization's mission is to develop leaders of character for tomorrow's Air Force. Detachments are located on 145 college and university campuses, with over 1,100 additional schools participating in crosstown agreements that allow their students to attend AFROTC classes at an area host school.

AFROTC Detachment 605 has a long history of producing leaders for the American people. Since 1953, over 950 Officers entered various career fields, shaping the WORLD'S GREATEST AIR FORCE. Today, AFROTC Det 605 has established partnerships with ten Greensboro Triad universities and colleges that allow for a diverse student population to earn their commission.

To participate you must be a full-time undergraduate student at North Carolina A&T State University or one of the other participating colleges or universities. The program is designed to develop leadership skills, hone self-confidence, and give opportunities to compete for Air Force ROTC scholarships.
