Department of Military Science

Welcome to the Blue Mountain Battalion - Bravo Company "Marauders"

The Millersville University Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) program was established in 1974 and is a extenision of the host program at Dickinson College. Together we are known as The Blue Mountain Battalion. Students from Franklin & Marshall College can also participate in the ROTC program at Millersville.

 ROTC is a leadership development program that deepens the scholastic experience by cultivating the ability to organize, motivate, and lead others.  It is the cornerstone of Army officer training that develops students, known as Cadets, into future officers in the U.S. Army.

 Any interested student may participate in military science courses without incurring a military obligation.

Men and women who choose to contract and successfully complete the commissioning program receive a commission as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army, Army Reserves, or Army National Guard upon graduation.
