Patriot Battalion Army ROTC

OUR MISSION

The Patriot Battalion recruits, trains, and develops leaders of character to serve the nation as commissioned officers in the U.S. Army. Additionally, our program motivates young people to be better citizens committed to life-long service in the community.

WHO WE ARE

The Patriot Battalion consists of approximately 75 cadets from five participating universities. We are based at Providence College and welcome cadets from Bryant University, Brown University, Rhode Island College, and the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth.

WHAT IS ARMY ROTC?

Army ROTC (Reserve Officers’ Training Corps) is one of the best leadership programs in the country and is part of your college curriculum. During classes, leadership labs, physical training and field training exercises, you will learn firsthand what it takes to lead others, motivate groups, and conduct missions as an officer in the Army. Upon graduation from Army ROTC, you will earn the rank of Second Lieutenant and be commissioned into the Active Army, Army Reserve or Army National Guard as a leader for life.
