MILWAUKEE Marquette University’s Army ROTC Golden Eagle Battalion will compete at the 2021 Sandhurst Military Skills Competition hosted by the United States Military Academy at West Point in New York, Friday, April 16, through Sunday, April 18.
Nearly 40 teams from higher education institutions from across the country will compete at the Sandhurst Military Skills Competition to determine who has the best ROTC programs and military skills.
Marquette’s team is made up of 11 student cadets and two cadre, or active-duty officers and faculty members. Marquette was selected to compete in the coveted competition after placing second at the Black Hawk Ranger Challenge in Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, last month, where six Army ROTC programs from universities across the Midwest competed in a weekend full of military challenges.
