NROTC UC BERKELEY

The Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps (NROTC) unit at UC Berkeley was established in 1926, making it one of the oldest NROTC programs in the nation. Throughout its history, the unit has trained and commissioned thousands of Navy and Marine Corps officers, many of whom have served with distinction in conflicts from World War II to the present day. The program was temporarily disbanded in 1971 due to campus and national opposition to the Vietnam War but was later reinstated in 2017 as part of a renewed commitment to military education at Berkeley. Today, the NROTC UC Berkeley unit continues its legacy of developing leaders for service in the United States Navy and Marine Corps.
