Our History
The University of Toledo’s Army ROTC program, known as the Rocket Battalion, traces its origins to May 28, 1947, when President Dr. Phillip Nash formally applied to the War Department for an Infantry ROTC unit. This marked the official establishment of the program at UToledo.
Since its founding, the Rocket Battalion has grown into a respected leadership and military training program. By the mid-2000s, it had already commissioned over 2,000 lieutenants. The program is open to any enrolled college student, with the first two years of leadership courses available without a commitment to the Army.
The Rocket Battalion’s mission is to develop leaders of honor, character, and competence through military science and leadership training.
