Who We Are

The Harvard Reserve Officers’ Training Corp Association (HROTCA) seeks to cultivate inter-branch community between Air Force, Army and Navy cadets and midshipmen as well as the broader Harvard community. With nearly 100 cadets and midshipmen, HROTCA members fill the ranks of Detachment 365 (Air Force), the Paul Revere Battalion (Army), and the Old Ironsides Battalion (Navy).

Meet our cadets and midshipmen!

Check out our student posts from Air Force, Army and Navy ROTC! Our cadets and midshipmen are a diverse group of students involved in varsity and club sports, volunteer organizations, pre-professional groups and much more.

“In an increasingly complex world, we will need leaders in wartime and in peacetime who are educated broadly in the arts and sciences, leaders who can combine knowledge and wisdom with action.”

— Former Harvard President, Drew G. Faust
