What is the primary purpose of Arnold Air Society (AAS) at a university detachment?

• A. To develop leadership, promote service to the community, and support the Air Force through a professional, military-oriented student organization.
• B. To manage the ROTC budget and enforce uniform standards on campus.
• C. To train cadets for active combat missions.
• D. To replace university clubs in student government.

Answer: (A)

AAS centers on developing leadership, promoting service to the community, and supporting the Air Force through a professional, military-oriented student organization. This structure means members focus on leadership growth, organizing service projects, and serving as ambassadors for the detachment and Air Force values on campus. It’s not about managing ROTC budgets, enforcing uniform standards, training cadets for combat, or replacing student government, which are duties outside the primary purpose of the society.
