MSU Army ROTC has been a commissioning source for the United States Army for over fifty years. Located in Button Auditorium, Army ROTC has one primary task: to turn college students into military officers. This is done through a combination of classroom instruction, physical fitness training, training exercises, and special events. Throughout each semester, Cadets will participate in events ranging from early morning runs and marches, to fundraising for the annual Cadet Military Ball. There is always need for motivated individuals to come out and take part.
Army Ten Miler - Held every year in Washington, DC, participating Cadets will run alongside and compete with other ROTC programs from around the country, as well as active military, National Guard, reserves, civilians, and veterans from around the world.
Norwegian Foot March - To earn this badge Cadets must complete an 18.9 mile ruck march carrying 35 pounds in under four hours and thirty minutes. It is typically put on by a host school and features members of the Norwegian military to award the badge, as well as Active Duty soldiers also attempting to earn the badge.
