The Reserve Officer Training Program is a great leadership development tool in our schools at both the High School and University levels. The Program provides valuable training and focused, military oriented education, which builds discipline and character in those who participate. A challenging program, ROTC helps build leaders.
The Marine Corps Association enthusiastically supports the ROTC programs throughout the country as a great means of encouraging leadership development in potential, future Marines. The primary support MCA provides to the ROTC program is in the form of superior performance recognition. MCA sponsors an awards program to recognize deserving ROTC and JROTC participants who have distinguished themselves while drilling with their ROTC unit.
MCA recognizes hundreds of superior ROTC / JROTC program performers each year. The MCA Awards program, which is authorized under Marine Corps Order 1650.31G, provides a personalized plaque to the honor graduate at every NROTC, MJROTC and NJROTC unit annually. Enclosed with each plaque is a congratulatory letter from the MCA.
While all ROTC / JROTC are eligible to participate in the Awards Program, not all do so. MCA urges all units to participate in order to provide valuable incentives and, well- deserved recognition for their unit members.
For more information about ROTC awards or to discuss other ways MCA can support an ROTC unit, call Stacey Lynn at 800-336-0291 ext. 156. We look forward to supporting you in your efforts.
Administrative Note. To enable MCA to process recognition requests responsively, we request that ROTC/JROTC instructors send us a letter with detailed award recipient information at least four weeks prior to the recognition occasion. Please include the full name of the award winner with rank, (if any), the exact date of the occasion, Senior Military Instructor's information, and any other information that should be included on the plaque.
