ROTC Teaches You to Lead
Army ROTC (Reserve Officers’ Training Corps) is one of the best leadership courses in the country and is part of your college curriculum. During classes, leadership labs, physical training, and field training exercises, you will learn firsthand what it takes to lead others, motivate groups, and conduct missions as an Officer in the Army. Upon graduation from Army ROTC, you will earn the bar of a Second Lieutenant and be commissioned into the Active Army, Army Reserve, or Army National Guard and become a leader for life.

Platoon Attack Lab!
On Friday, A-Co Cadets conducted a platoon-level ambush. MS3s took on the crucial role of planning, decision-making, and leading their peers in complex tactical scenarios. Their ability to adapt under pressure, communicate effectively, and execute the mission is key to their development as future Army officers. #ArmyROTC #UConn #LeadFromTheFront#NHB#NathanHaleBattalion
