ROTC Offers Many Opportunities to Excel
In Army ROTC, it's not all classroom and field training. There are many opportunities
for you to get to know your fellow cadets better and increase your skills in a variety
of areas. Learn more about these events and activities below.
Ranger Challenge
The Ranger Challenge is an opportunity for schools to "compete" with each other
completing military tasks. In addition to a written examination where Cadets
test their Army knowledge, there are physical fitness drills and field exercises.
Battalions leave a Ranger Challenge with stronger bonds and sharper skills.
Pershing Rifles
The National Society of Pershing Rifles gives Army ROTC Cadets the opportunity
to develop to the highest degree possible. Cadets can take part in precision
trick rifle drill teams that provide them with the outstanding traits of
leadership, military bearing and discipline.
Dining Out, Military Ball & Awards Ceremony
Each year, Cadets are participate in
social activities that celebrate the long traditions of the U.S. Army and
prepare them for life as a military officer. Two such activities include
the Dining Out and Military Ball. Cadets are recognized for their hard
work at the annual awards ceremony.
Ranger Company, Ranger Challenge Team or Pershing Rifles
Cadets can voluntarily participate in
extracurricular activities such as Ranger Company, Ranger Challenge Team or
Pershing Rifles fraternity. Increase your understanding of small unit
tactics in the Ranger Company. Challenge your own physical endurance and
skills in the competitive Ranger Challenge Team or perfect your drill and
ceremonies skills while building strong friendships in the Pershing
Rifles.
Fundraising and other activities
The Battalion also conducts other
activities such as fundraising that build teamwork and “esprit de corps.”
These activities are strictly voluntary.
