Wolverine Battalion
Our program mission is to instill in students in United States secondary educational institutions the values of citizenship, service to the United States, personal responsibility and a sense of accomplishment. Regardless of your rank or your experience in the unit, you can, and must, exercise Honor, Courage, and Commitment whenever possible. You need to set the standard through your work ethic, personal accountability, and with your highest sense of personal honor. Never let your fellow cadets sacrifice their integrity or fail to live up to their potential. Every time you turn a blind eye to substandard performance, the team gets weaker and mission accomplishment becomes more difficult.
Recent Events
On April 23, our unit concluded its very accomplished year with a pass-in-review ceremony, where much-deserved awards were presented, and the change of command ceremony took place, ushering in the staff for the 2025-2026 School year.
On June 14th, four cadets and one cadre (Kaur), successfully graduated from Area 8, 9, and 10's combined Leadership Academy at Riverside Military Academy. These cadets-Vo, Canady, Blankenship, and Blalcok-endured intense physical training, extended hours of drill, academic testing, sleep deprivation, and a high-pressure environment. Throughout the experience, they developed valuable leadership skills and knowledge to bring back and strengthen our unit!
