AFROTC Det 250 ISU vintage style military aviation travel poster art by – Squadron Posters!
Detachment 250 is a medium sized Air Force ROTC detachment located in the heart of Ames Iowa on Iowa State University’s (ISU) campus. Known simply as the “Storm”, their objective is to produce Air and Space Force Officers who are loyal and versatile leaders of principle. ROTC has always been a large part of the tradition of Iowa State. Since 1870, Iowa State has been a pioneer in military training and education, and has fostered very successful military officers. The first official “air unit” at Iowa State came in 1946, and in the start of 1947, Iowa State officially had an AFROTC detachment. At this time, ISU was only one of thirty schools to offer ROTC across all three branches of service, the Army, Navy, and Air Force. During it’s peak, AFROTC enrollment numbers reached as high as 1,952 in the 1953-54 school year, and remained high through the 50’s. In the years between 1948-1959, the AFROTC program commissioned 843 2nd Lieutenants to the USAF. Today, enrollment numbers are just over 100, and the program strives to commission 15 2nd Lieutenants per year.
