ROTC is moving to Russell!
The ROTC office will begin moving into Russell Hall on October 6, 2016. We are excited to be moving back on campus! We believe we will be better able to serve you as we get reconnected with the campus community.
Nothing will change for our cadets except of course our new location. Our phone number of 540-831-5288 will remain the same. However, for a few days after the move we will not be able to recieve phone calls. If you need to contact us you can stop by the new Administrative office in Russell Hall Room 027.
Thank you for being patient with us as we relocate.

Welcome to the Department of Military Science, Army ROTC, New River Battalion
Want a job after graduating with your bachelor degree? Becoming an Army Officer will help ensure you are employed after graduation.
Army ROTC is an elective curriculum you take along with your required college classes. It prepares you with the tools, training and experiences that will help you succeed in any competitive environment. You will have a normal college student experience like everyone else on campus, but when you graduate, you will be an Officer in the United States Army, Army National Guard, or Army Reserves.
As an Officer, you lead by example and you will lead other Soldiers in all situations and adjust in environments that are always changing. They are driven to achieve success with their unit on every mission.
