About this program
Run by cadre at Norwich University, Green Mountain Battalion is the Army ROTC battalion for Northfield and surrounding Vermont. Cadets and alumni use the unit's nickname, the Green Mountain, on guidons and class shirts.
Cross-town agreements bring University of Vermont, Saint Michael's College, and Vermont State University into the battalion's footprint. Most cross-town cadets keep their primary academics at the partner school and travel to Norwich University for ROTC class and lab.
The battalion runs all standard Army ROTC scholarship channels: AROTC 4-Year National, AROTC 3-Year Advanced, Minuteman (Reserve/Guard). Major-wise, cadets here cluster around engineering and physical sciences and computer science and cybersecurity, with cadre encouraging technical degrees where the cadet's career interests fit.
