Welcome to Detachment 380
We develop a TEAM of Air Force and Space Force Officers READY TO LEAD by preparing future officers with the foundational habits, skills, and warrior ethos to succeed anytime, anywhere!
Cadet LifeEstablished in 1946, Detachment 380 is an AFROTC training program based out of Michigan State University in East Lansing, MI. Det 380 also supports cadets from three nearby universities: Western Michigan University, Olivet College, and Lansing Community College. The Cadet Corps currently averages around 100 cadets from these five institutions of higher education.
AFROTC is a training program that prepares college students to become officers in the United States Air Force or Space Force. Students work with Det 380 to qualify for a commission while simultaneously completing their university degree requirements.
Det 380's academic training program emphasizes student involvement and the development of leadership skills. Classes are conducted as seminars and call for active student discussion. In addition, cadets become involved in the management of their own cadet wing through a mandatory weekly two-hour Leadership Laboratory. Cadets are assigned corps positions, with increasing responsibility over the four years. Students also have the opportunity to participate in physical training, leadership projects, visits to Air Force bases, orientation flights, and normal college extracurricular activities.
