Syracuse Army ROTC

Today marks the start of the first CST Regiment at Fort Knox, Kentucky. We wish our MS3s well and look forward to seeing them exceed the standards.

Cadet Highlight! Cadet Price spent the last two weeks at Fort Drum with his unit, A Co., 572nd BEB, conducting their annual training. While there, he participated in heavy demolition and served as OPFOR for the infantry, executing both defensive and offensive lanes. He also had the opportunity to compete for and earn the prestigious German Armed Forces Proficiency Badge.

Cadet Highlight!
Cadet Caravita recently traveled to South Africa with the Hendricks Chapel Choir. They made stops in Johannesburg, Drakensberg, Cape Town, and other cities. At the concerts, they collaborated with local choirs, including the University of Johannesburg Choir and the Drakensberg Boys Choir.

Flashback Friday!

Last month, our battalion conducted its final 12-mile ruck of the year. This physical training is essential for preparing our cadets ahead of CST.

Congratulations to our newly commissioned 2LTs!

On May 8, 2026, Syracuse University Army ROTC commissioned 24 new Second Lieutenants at our Spring Commissioning Ceremony. There, they received their 2LT rank, commission from the United States Army, and their first salute from an NCO of their choosing. Congratulations to the Class of 2026!
