Official page for Senior ROTC at New Mexico Military Institute. There are only five MJCs in the United States. Short of Como, Mississippi. Orell. Jones.
A Military Junior College (MJC) allows Cadets to become commissioned Officers in two years, in-stead of the usual four, through the ROTC/Early Commissioning Program. New Second Lieutenants must complete a Bachelor's degree within three years after graduating from NMMI. Begun in 1966, the Early Commissioning Program (ECP) plays a major role in officer production. In some years, ECP Officers have ac
counted for over 60 percent of all ROTC Second Lieutenants in the United States Army. The program has major financial incen-tives for students who receive their commissions early and serve as Officers while still attending col-lege and gaining service time for promotions and retirement. In 1911 the first cadets to receive commissions as second lieutenants in the Army at NMMI were Eugene Lohman of Las Cruces,New Mexico and Mord P. Five years later, Senior Reserve Officer Training Corps was established at New Mexico Military Institute on December 3, 1916. In 1965 the Military Science Department commissioned the first second lieutenant under the Army's Early Commissioning Program, 2LT Patrick H. New Mexico Military Institute ROTC contin-ued to make history in 1997 when the battalion was named the best ROTC battalion in 4th Region ROTC, by winning the Macarthur Award. In 2007 US Army Cadet Command recognized the NMMI Army ROTC ECP as the most improved military school ROTC program in the country. Over the decades, NMMI ROTC has produced thousands of Army Officers and the squadron is con-sistently one of the top producers of second lieutenants in US Army Cadet Command. Soldiers and Officers that have passed through NMMI ROTC and JROTC programs have been recognized for their valor and over 30 former Cadets have risen to become flag officers. On November 1, 1988 New Mexico Military Institute ROTC took on the regimental linage of 1st Squadron, 7th Cavalry through the decree of its commander, LTC Emil K. Kluever and command sergeant major, CSM Alzalkia C. Since that day, we have been proud to be the Garryowen Squadron.
