JOINING THE MAVERICK BATTALION

High School Students

If you're still in high school and you're interested in joining Army ROTC, you can find schools that carry an Army ROTC program or talk to your academic advisor.

College Students

If you're interested in joining Army ROTC and you are in college, you can start by taking an Army ROTC basic elective course.

If you have at least two or more years remaining toward your undergraduate degree, but not enough time to complete the Basic Course, you can enter the Army ROTC Advanced Course by completing the Leader's Training Course held at Fort Knox, Kentucky, during the summer.

Talk to your campus Military Science department about other ways to join Army ROTC and incentives available, including opportunities to compete for two-, three-, or four-year scholarships.

This course is for those college students who want to complete Army ROTC training in two years. To qualify, you must complete a challenging and motivating 28-day training program at Fort Knox, Kentucky. Upon completion of the Leader’s Training Course, graduates return to campus prepared to enter the Advanced Course. Ask your campus Military Science department.

Enlisted Soldiers

If you are an enlisted Soldier in the Army and interested in becoming an Officer, find out more about the Army’s Green to Gold program.

The Simultaneous Membership Program allows you to attend Army ROTC and serve in the U.S. Army Reserve or Army National Guard at the same time. It gives you an opportunity for additional training and experience. Cadets serve as Officer trainees in the Reserve or National Guard while completing college. You can earn Reserve/Guard pay and benefits in addition to your Army ROTC allowances.
