Army ROTC - Scarlet Knight Battalion

Welcome to the Rutgers University Army ROTC Scarlet Knight Battalion! Army ROTC has a long-standing tradition at Rutgers. Many of our Alumni have gone onto serve our nation both in country and abroad with distinction and honor. The Scarlet Knight Battalion's mission is to commission officers into the United States Army as Second Lieutenants who will go on to serve our country in the Regular Active Army, Army National Guard or Army Reserves.

Army ROTC offers students the opportunity to learn and grow in a variety of ways. The Army ROTC program challenges each cadet in the battalion in both indoor and outdoor settings; cadets participate in classroom instruction while also engaging in world class physical fitness training, land navigation/orienteering, rifle marksmanship and other military activities. Cadets learn management and leadership skills not available in other University programs. Army ROTC contributes to a variety of leadership skills applicable to any profession, career or job, while instilling in each cadet a sense of confidence, discipline, and personal responsibility. Moreover, each cadet gains the satisfaction of being part of a select group of Americans dedicated to support and defend the US Constitution and serve the Nation.
