Shaping Tomorrow's Leaders · California's Historic First
National Staff Bid2027 to 2028

Arnold Air Society is a national honor organization of Air Force and Space Force ROTC cadets who serve their communities while training to lead. The Risner Squadron is California's bid to guide all 168 chapters from the national staff.
We develop tomorrow's leaders through service, professional development, and a commitment to excellence. Now we are ready to carry that mission from the squadron to the nation.
