ARMY ROTC:
Austin Peay State University

GOVERNORS GUARD



	Cadets work together to formulate a plan.
	During field training exercises, Cadets have the opportunity to put into practice the skills that they have learned in the classroom and during the labs. A good deal of what the Cadets learn, they learn from each other; it’s truly a team effort where everyone contributes to the development of the group.

Learn Leadership from the Best Leaders

The Army ROTC program is only as strong as its instructors. That's why we provide such highly qualified faculty and staff for Cadets. See the kind of varied and interesting experiences instructors have had that make them the best ROTC faculty and staff.
