History of the Fighting Eagle Battalion at Eastern Washington University
Army ROTC has been a part of Eastern Washington University since 16 June 1952. When this agreement was signed in 1952 it established a legacy and history of professional officers who graduated and were commissioned into the Armed Forces. Throughout the years hundreds of men and women have been commissioned into the United States Army and and are serving their country proudly. The Fighting Eagle Battalion has a history of producing quality officers, serving both in peace and war time, throughout the world. Over the years, four distinguished Fighting Eagle Cadets have reached the rank of General Officer – each serving for over 25 years of honorable service.
