The Bulldog Detachment at Truman State University commissions quality officers in order to meet the leadership requirements of the United States Army, while simultaneously building strong leaders/citizens for the nation and strictly adhering to the standard of excellence upheld by Truman State University.

By participating in the ROTC Program, a student may earn a minor in military science and a commission as a Second Lieutenant (2LT) in the United States Army, Army Reserves or the Army National Guard.

The Bulldog Detachment cadre consists of three Army commissioned officers, two non-commissioned officers, three Department of Defense civilian employees, and a state employee.

Truman State University Army ROTC is dedicated to creating competent, strong, and morally/ethically sound leaders. We foster good relations with the community, and at the university, to create a mutually beneficial partnership. We live the Army values and voluntarily fulfill our obligations to our nation and our neighbors.
