Army ROTC

Our Mission

SIUC Army ROTC Detachment, in partnership with SIUC Leadership, recruits, retains, educates, and develops quality leaders who meet the requirements of our Nation and the total Army to ensure the continued strength of our Nation. 

Intent

The overall focus is to provide a challenging curriculum, developmental leadership opportunities, and enhanced experiences that will provide Cadets with the attributes to succeed as junior officers and leaders in the US Army. 

Recent Activities:

The Saluki Strike Battalion is gearing up for a new school year! As our Cadets come back for another year and new students arrive in the program for the first time, we are excited to welcome them to our team! We want to ensure we train to standard while making sure we stay safe. If you are interested in how you can improve your leadership skills, email the Army Military Science (Army ROTC) at Saluki Strike Battalion, armyrotc@siu.edu or 618-453-5786.
