NROTC Oregon State

The NROTC Oregon State unit was established in 1946 at Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon, as part of the nationwide Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps program to develop future officers for the United States Navy and Marine Corps. Over the decades, the unit has commissioned hundreds of ensigns and second lieutenants, many of whom have gone on to distinguished military careers. The program emphasizes academic excellence, leadership development, and physical fitness, while fostering strong ties with the university community. Today, NROTC Oregon State continues its mission of preparing midshipmen and officer candidates for service as professional naval and Marine Corps officers.
