CMU ROTC Cadets have the chance to join several clubs including:

Ranger Challenge

The most elite club in ROTC can be summed up in two letters, RC. Ranger Challenge.  The Ranger Challenge Club is comprised of only the finest cadets in the CMU ROTC program.  These cadets learn valuable basic military skills including map reading and land navigation, basic marksmanship, assembly and disassembly of the M-16A2 and M-9 pistol, grenade assault course, and rigorous physical exercise.  These skills are put to the test in a fun, high stress weekend of demanding head to head competition every year at an annual Ranger Challenge Competition.  This competition is against at least 10 other college ROTC programs.  If you are not in shape, Ranger Challenge is the place for you to fix that.  A variety intense exercise plans are sure to have you ready for any physical fitness test.  Cadets participating in Ranger Challenge are highly motivated and have a chance to enhance their leadership abilities by having the opportunity to teach other cadets and lead in physical training.  Nothing builds a greater sense of self-worth than accomplishing goals you never thought they could, such as completing a 10k ruck run or working as a 9 man team to cross a stream with a one rope bridge in under three minutes.  If you think Ranger Challenge sounds like something you want to be a part of, please feel free to contact anyone in the Military Science Department.   

Cannon - The Redleg Cannon club was first established in the fall semester of 1996. The Cannon Club fires a pack 75 Howitzer at all of the home football games. This cannon is named "Brewers Pride." This club also participates in the Homecoming and Veteran's Day Parades. For Veteran's Day, "Brewers Pride" executes a 21 round salute in honor of all of our veterans. The cannon was named after SFC (Retired) Michael Brewer. The club was his idea and, with his hard effort, he got the pack 75 Howitzer donated to our ROTC program.

We shoot small-bore rifles at 50ft in the prone, kneeling, and standing positions.  If you have any questions regarding the CMU Rifle Club or for further information, contact the Military Science Department in Finch Fieldhouse Rm 111.

Queen's Guard- The Queen's Guard Drill Team is the most publicized team of the CMU ROTC battalion.  Queen's Guard members provide public services to the surrounding area and campus through proper and effective displays of our National, State, Army, and School Colors.  The Queen's Guard members raise the National Flag at home football games, serve in honor guards for numerous functions, and participate in drill and ceremony competitions.  For more information about the Queen's Guard contact MSG Joe Postler at postl1jd@cmich.edu.
