Teaching The Leaders Of Tomorrow

Task Force Dragon is the name of Drexel Army ROTC, Philadelphia’s Army ROTC consortium. TASK FORCE DRAGON Army ROTC includes such prestigious, nationally ranked schools as Drexel University, the University of Pennsylvania, Saint Joseph’s University, LaSalle University, Rowan University and Rutgers University – Camden Campus.  We have students of almost every conceivable academic major participating in our program. This creates unique opportunities for cadets to help each other through the ROTC network. Cadets attend classes at Drexel, Rowan and LaSalle based on which location is more convenient for them. We conduct most of our training at local military installations (like Fort Dix, NJ and Indiantown Gap, PA).

Task Force Dragon is the culmination of two great programs combining in the 1990s – Drexel University Army ROTC and the University of Pennsylvania Army ROTC programs. Read more…
