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/Awards Ceremony
This formal event happens at the end of the spring semester and is held on campus. Family, friends, and distinguished guests take part in this ceremony. Cadets also receive their end of year recognition and awards.
Staff Ride
Once a year during the spring semester, the battalion conducts a staff ride to a National Battlefield in Tennessee. The MSIV cadets plan, prepare, and execute the instruction during the event. All cadets, family, and friends may attend.
Commissioning Ceremony
This ceremony happens one to three times a year depending on the cadet graduation. The cadets are commissioned on campus. Families, friends, and distinguished guests take part during this ceremony.
