Clemson Corps of Cadets
Welcome to the Fightin' Tiger Battalion and Army ROTC, a tradition that has been around for over 100 years at Clemson University. You now belong to an elite team of future leaders in the United States Army. Whether you are contracted and committed to service in the Army or enrolled and checking out the program - we are glad you are part of our team. It takes courage to join this team, and there is no better opportunity for college students to learn and apply leadership skills. You will be challenged in our Leadership Development Program, learning about and being expected to live by a set of values that translate beyond the Army and into the boardrooms of corporate America. It is no accident that companies nationwide seek out those with military experience, for our ability to lead, gives us a decisive edge over the competition.
You will apply leadership fundamentals in the classroom and through various exciting and rigorous training events during leadership labs and exercises. You will lead small units through a multitude of tactical scenarios. You will plan and execute training events such as land navigation/orienteering, first aid training, rappelling, combat water survival and more. You will learn about physical fitness and get in the best shape of your life.
Congratulations on qualifying to be part of the Fightin' Tiger Battalion. Be proud of yourself for being willing to do what most others cannot or will not do. You are embarking on a path that leads you to the most rewarding time of your life- leading America's sons and daughters in our Army.
Tiger Strong!
