Abstract: To each second-order ordinary differential equation $sigma$ on a smooth manifold $M$ a $G$-structure $P^{s}igma$ on $J^1(mathbbR,M)$ is associated and the Chern connection $abl{a}^{s}igma$ attached to $sigma$ is proved to be reducible to $P^{s}igma$; in fact, $P^{s}igma$ coincides generically with the holonomy bundle of $abl{a}^{s}igma$. The cases of unimodular and orthogonal holonomy are also dealt with. Two characterizations of the Chern connection are given: The first one in terms of the corresponding covariant derivative and the second one as the only principal connection on $P^{s}igma$ with prescribed torsion tensor field. The properties of the curvature tensor field of $abl{a}^{s}igma$ in relationship to the existence of special coordinate systems for $sigma$ are studied. Moreover, all the odd-degree characterictic classes on $P^{s}igma$ are seen to be exact and the usual characteristic classes induced by $abl{a}^{s}igma$ determine the Chern classes of $M$. The maximal group of automorphisms of the projection $pcolonmathbbRimesMomathbbR$ with respect to which $abl{a}^{s}igma$ has a functorial behaviour, is proved to be the group of $p$-vertical automorphisms. The notion of a differential invariant under such a group is defined and stated that second-order differential invariants factor through the curvature mapping; a structure is thus established for KCC theory.
