2022 Spring Commissioning
University of Louisville Army ROTC commissioned 17 new Second Lieutenants on 13 MAY 2022 into the States Army. These new Lieutenants took the Oath of Commissioned Officers. This is a defining moment where they no longer live by the Cadet Creed but eagerly accept the exceptional responsibility of being a Commissioned Officer.
Congratulations on your achievements and good luck as you assume your new responsibility to our Country.
This year marks the 105th anniversary of the Army Reserve Officers Training Corps.
