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.
Leadership Labs
Every Thursday during the semester cadets from the Mountain Ranger Battalion conducts training that varies from Individual Movement Technique (IMT), Field Leader Reaction Course (FLRC), Combat Water Survival Training (CWST) and Basic Infantry Tactic. These training prepare the cadets to successfully negotiate the Leader Development Assessment Course (LDAC) conducted in Fort Lewis, Washington.
Commissioning Ceremony
Commissioning Ceremony is the final stage in the ROTC process. This is the point when cadets make the transition to the rank of 2nd Lieutenant.
