Office of the Commander

 Greetings:

         On behalf of the Lumberjack Battalion, I would like to thank you for your interest in the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) program at Northern Arizona University.  Since 1982, NAU has proudly served as a host institution for Army ROTC.  For 25 years, our program has continued to provide quality officers to both the active and reserve components of the Army.  Together with our partnership program at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, Arizona, our cadets journey along the path of officership each year.  Our cadets have distinguished themselves as scholars, athletes and leaders. This past year, the Lumberjack Battalion was designated as the best battalion in our brigade, which includes all ROTC programs in California, Arizona, Utah, and Nevada.

 Provided you meet the basic entry requirements, our team stands ready to tap your potential and fine-tune your leadership skills.  Please take the time to browse the information on this website, and don’t hesitate to drop by our office on campus or contact us by phone or e-mail using the links listed.  We look forward to meeting you. Army strong!

 

Again, thank you for your interest in Army ROTC.

 

 “Best leadership course on campus,”

 

John C. M. Nelson
