AFROTC Detachment 165
We build next-generation wingmen, leaders, and warriors.
Welcome to the home of Air Force ROTC’s Detachment 165, based out of the Georgia Institute of Technology and host to 11 cross-town schools in the metro Atlanta area. Since its inception in the 1920s, Detachment 165 has commissioned over 1,700 officers for the United States Air Force and was recently ranked in the top 10% of AFROTC detachments nationwide.
The key to our success is simple and can be identified easily as the three core values of the Air Force: Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence in All We Do. Detachment 165’s mission is to train cadets and develop leaders who will excel in the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Force and go on to positively impact their units, their airmen, and the world.
