"Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it."

Welcome to Florida Tech Army Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC), home of the Panther Battalion. Our program provides leadership training for students and trains officers for the U.S. Army, U.S. Army Reserve, and U.S. Army National Guard. Army ROTC enhances a student's education and provides unique educational opportunities by combining leadership and management theory with actual hands-on experience. Army ROTC develops self-discipline, physical stamina, leadership, management skills and many other qualities essential to success in life.

The Army ROTC program here at Florida Institute of Technology is not only academically demanding, but also is well known throughout the nation as one of the top ROTC units. Our program has rewarding Warrior Forge performance scores which ultimately provides the Army with some of the finest newly commissioned officers. A unit committed to excellence, the Panther Battalion has won the ROTC 6th Brigade Ranger Challenge Competition for the past three years.
