VISION
The Jaguar Battalion focuses on high standards of academic and leadership excellence
that prepare our graduates to be commissioned and succeed as future officers in the
United States Army.

MISSION
To recruit, educate, retain, empower, develop, and commission qualified Senior ROTC
Cadets that embody both the Warrior Ethos and the Army Values, with capacity to exemplify
the Army Profession. Partner with all Louisiana Junior ROTC Programs in order to produce
citizens of extraordinary character and competence for service to our nation.

OBJECTIVE
The objective of the Southern University and A&M College Army Senior Reserve Officers
Training Corps (ROTC) is to train, motivate and prepare select students with potential
to serve as Commissioned Officers in the Regular Army, United States Army Reserve
or the Louisiana Army National Guard. The program is designed to provide an understanding
of the fundamental concepts and principles of military art and science, and to develop
leadership and managerial potential in the Cadet. A strong sense of personal integrity,
honor, and individual responsibility, and an appreciation of the requirements for
national security are instilled in all Cadets. Attainment of these objectives will
prepare Cadets for commissioning and establish a sound basis for their future professional
development and effective performance in the United States Army or civilian life.
