ARMY ROTC

Commissioning Ceremony

Two times per year, in December and May, several cadets are commissioned during an on campus ceremony. In May 2010, twenty-four new Lieutenants were commissioned into the Active, Reserve, or National Guard components- the largest class in Titan Battalion history.

Bataan Death Memorial March/German Armed Forces Proficiency Badge

Cadets are given the opportunity to participate in events outside of ROTC. Two popular events among cadets are the Bataan Memorial Death March and the German Armed Forces Proficiency Badge (GAFB). Both events take place during the Spring semester. The Bataan Death March is a 26.2 mile march through the desert. Participants are given the option of carrying their full combat load, or simply walking/running the event.The GAFB competition gives cadets the opportunity to compete with soldiers from all branches of the military in a two day event. Some of the activities include: marksmanship, first aid, road march, and various track and field events. In Spring 2010, Cal State University, Fullerton had nearly 20 cadets earn the GAFB medal which will permanently adorn their uniforms.

Combat Water Survival Training (CWST)

One of the most favored labs in the Titan Battalion, CWST pushes cadets to their limits. Events in this training include: 15 m swim with rifle, 5 m drop (from a diving board while blindfolded), gear drop, and a timed swim and water treading test.
