A Proud History-A Bright Future
The Drexel University ROTC Battalion has been proud to help
develop the leaders of tomorrow.
TASK FORCE DRAGON, Drexel University Army ROTC over the years…
Drexel University’s Army ROTC program traces its roots to two ROTC programs
– Drexel ROTC and UPENN ROTC. Both were created in 1917 after our nation’s
entry into World War I. Many UPENN and Drexel ROTC students served with the
famed 316th Infantry Regiment. Many Drexel and UPENN Army ROTC
graduates served with distinction in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and in the
First Gulf War as well. In 1997, UPENN’s Army ROTC combined with Drexel
University Army ROTC, creating Philadelphia’s Army ROTC consortium, “TASK FORCE
DRAGON”. This consortium continues to this day, developing students who
desire to become future junior officer leaders in the U.S. Army. Rated as one
of the top Army ROTC programs on the East Coast, TF DRAGON and its members
universities providing unique opportunities for those students who seek
academic and leadership excellence.
