Auburn-Tuskegee Consortium Naval ROTC Overview 2018-2019
Consortium: Two separate universities with NROTC units that share permanent staff and missions.
Naval The word Naval implies both Navy and Marine. The Secretary of the Navy is responsible to the Secretary of Defense for both the United States Navy and the United States Marine Corps. We are a TEAM. Whenever possible, we fight together, so we train together. Naval ROTC trains both future Navy Officers and future Marine Corps Officers, just as the Naval Academy does.
Naval ROTC Mission To develop future officers morally, mentally, and physically and to imbue them with the highest ideals of duty and loyalty, and with core values of Honor, Courage, and Commitment in order to commission college graduates as naval officers who possess a basic professional background, are motivated toward careers in the naval service, and have a potential for future development in mind and character so as to assume the highest responsibilities of command, citizenship, and government.
