What describes the typical relationship between detachment leadership and AAS advisors?

• A. Advisors mentor and guide AAS operations, coordinate with AFROTC leadership, and ensure adherence to rules
• B. Advisors run all fundraising activities
• C. Advisors make all policy decisions unilaterally
• D. Advisors have no involvement in detachment activities

Answer: (A)

Advisors serve as mentors and guides for AAS operations, helping cadet leadership plan activities, navigate governance, and stay aligned with Air Force and university policies. They act as a bridge to AFROTC leadership, offering advice and oversight to ensure programs meet official rules and standards. They provide support and continuity, not micromanagement. Fundraising and events are typically led by cadets with advisor input, rather than the advisor running everything. Policy decisions aren’t made unilaterally by advisors; they’re a collaborative process involving cadet leadership and relevant AFROTC guidance. Advisors are involved in detachment activities to help sustain momentum and ensure compliance.
