USC Army ROTC is part of a larger community that brings together cadets, students, faculty, alumni, Soldiers, veterans, and supporters from across the Trojan Family. Our program builds strong relationships throughout USC and with the surrounding Los Angeles community, creating opportunities for cadets to connect with people who share a commitment to leadership, service, and personal growth. These connections help make ROTC more than a college program—they create a community where cadets can learn, contribute, and belong.

Our community extends beyond the university through partnerships with local organizations, military units, schools, and community leaders. Cadets have opportunities to participate in service projects, outreach events, ceremonies, competitions, and activities that allow them to represent USC and the Army while giving back to others. Together, we strive to build a culture of teamwork, mentorship, and service that supports our cadets throughout their time at USC and beyond.
