The ECU Army ROTC Staff is committed to Leadership Excellence. We offer students a professional atmosphere in which we share 120 years worth of leadership experience to help our cadets/students develop into the future officer corps of the United States Army. Our leadership training consists of class lecture, hands-on training with our labs, and interaction with other Army ROTC cadets/students from other universities during our combined Field Training Exercises (FTX). Contact us today for further information on the premier leadership development course here at ECU.
