Sorry if I missed something earlier in this thread, but does TIOH design & register insignia for the various Jr ROTC programs?  Or are these purely local creations?

It appears that the TIOH is indeed involved in designing and registrating the insignia of JROTC:s.

JROTC units may but are not obliged to have TIOH design their insignia for them.  But any insignia to be worn on the uniform and procured through military supply channels must be approved by TIOH, which also prepares the manufacturing drawings and specifications.

Unlike the coats of arms of regiments and battalions of the "real" Army, there is no requirement that the insignia of JROTC units be heraldic, and I think the approval process basically ensuring there’s nothing offensive about the design.
