Military Science Studies (ROTC)

Mission Statement

The mission of the LMU Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) program is to recruit, train, and commission future officers of the United States Army, as well as provide another dimension of study for all LMU students, which will give them a better understanding of the soldierly skills required of a leader in the U.S. Army.

Students should develop in the three-fold aspect as a scholar, leader, and athlete. Students should have a basic understanding of military history. Students should be able to perform the basic soldierly skills required to be a leader in the U.S. Army, which include but are not limited to: first aid and safety, ethics, values, organization, community service, basic rifle marksmanship, land navigation, bush craft skills, and physical fitness.

Students should be able to perform those duties required of an officer in the U.S. Army, which include but are not limited to: military law, management, written and verbal communication, tactics, techniques, and procedures. Students who are contracted should complete all tasks necessary to be commissioned as a U.S. Army officer upon graduation.
