Organizational History
The Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFROTC) is one of the three primary commissioning sources for officers in the United States Air Force. AFROTC units are located on 145 college and university campuses. AFROTC units at colleges and universities are called "detachments," and are headed by an active duty USAF officer.
Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFROTC) Detachment (Det) 510 was first established at UNM in 1949. The core charge is training potential, highly qualified students/cadets into the next generation of United States Air Force officer leadership. Upon successful completion of the AFROTC program, typically over four years, individuals receive a commission as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Air Force.
