The Reserve Officers' Training Corps has been the backbone of the United States Army's officer corps for over a century. Without ROTC, the pipeline of trained, disciplined, and principled military leaders would run dry. The cadets training at UW–Whitewater today will be the commissioned officers protecting your community, your country, and your freedoms tomorrow.
ROTC instills integrity, discipline, and selfless service in young Americans — qualities that define not just great soldiers, but great citizens who strengthen every institution they enter.
Approximately 70% of the U.S. Army's officers come through ROTC. Without strong, well-funded programs, America's military readiness is directly compromised. This is not abstract — it is our national security.
ROTC opens doors to higher education through scholarships, provides career skills no classroom can replicate, and creates opportunities for young people from all walks of life to serve something greater than themselves.
UWW ROTC cadets serve Whitewater and the surrounding region through community service, emergency support, and civic engagement — they are neighbors and protectors, not just soldiers in training.
The nation which forgets its defenders will itself be forgotten.
