Eagle
company is located in Prescott, Arizona on the campus of Embry-Riddle
Aeronautical University. We are partner schools with the Lumberjack
Battalion which is the ROTC detachment at Northern
Arizona University
The Army ROTC program at ERAU is small. Class sizes are usually between five and fifteen cadets. Each cadet recieves lots of personal attention and communication between the cadets and the cadre are excellent.
ROTC is more than just taking classes. With hundreds of acres of undeveloped wilderness on and adjacent to the campus, the weekly leadership labs normally take place outdoors. Cadets learn how to effictively lead people.
Eagle Company goes on serveral Field Training Exercises (FTX's) every year. On these FTX's cadets learn about garrison life, field survival, and participate in several activities such as rapelling, rifle shooting (BRM), running obstacle courses, making rope bridges, and leadership reaction courses. Some FTX's are held with all Arizona ROTC units, and an optional winter survival FTX is available for those who are up for the challenge.
