About this program
Headquartered on the Augusta University campus in Augusta, Soldier Battalion is the local accession point into the U.S. Army.
Sister-school participation is a real piece of this battalion. Cadets from Paine College, Augusta Technical College, and Georgia Military College contract through Soldier Battalion and travel to Augusta University for the military-side requirements while keeping their core degree at the partner.
On the scholarship side: AROTC 4-Year National, AROTC 3-Year Advanced, Minuteman (Reserve/Guard) are all live channels at Soldier Battalion. Academically, Augusta University is well-regarded for international affairs and language study — a track that pairs well with ROTC's emphasis on technical and leadership majors.
