The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave...
--Patrick Henry--

 

The Bronco Battalion conducts activities in conjunction with WMU's Fall Welcome. Cadets move into the residence halls early, have a BBQ with current cadets, cadre and family, get issued all kinds of cool Army equipment, rappel and a number of other informative and fun activities.

All Army ROTC Cadets (Cadet is defined as anyone enrolled in Military Science class MSL1010) get to move into the residence halls on Monday morning, regardless of which residence hall you are assigned, what other programs you may be involved in or what your last name starts with. Current cadets will be available to help you move in. Look for them and ask for their assistance.
