Company B-1, Texas A&M Corps of Cadets

Texas A&M Corps of Cadets || Army ROTC
"Like Hell We Can't!" Est. 1876 Company B-1 has a very long and rich history as the second oldest outfit on the Quad.

B-1 was formed in the fall of 1876 as Company B. Company B was one of two companies in the battalion that made up the Corps of Cadets. The other company was Company A, also formed in the fall of 1876. All cadets who entered A&M in October were placed in Company A and were trained in military tactics and drill. These cadets were equally divided between Company B and Company A later in the semester. These cadets served as the cadre for the cadets entering the college in January of 1877.

1998-2003:

Company B-1 continued to excel by winning the General George F. Moore award and placing first for the Hocmuth and Jouine awards for the 1998-1999 school year, the first year that it was eligible for it. General Bruno Hocmuth award was won during the 2000-2001 school year, and the following year, 2001-2002, B-1 won the General Jouine award.

2003-Present:

Company B-1 continues to grow as an outfit. B-1 has the moral courage to do the right thing, and as its former Battlers have said, it is a company that will continue to exceed the standards. In the 2006-2007 year, B-1 swept the awards, winning many awards including the General Moore Award once again. In the 2011-2012 year, Company B-1 became the largest Army Outfit in the Corps of Cadets and has over 50% of its members on track to be commissioned as second lieutenants in the US Army.

On 3/2/2013, Amy Pacheco and Miguel Hernandez passed away returning from Houston after judging a JROTC competition. A drunk driver had driven in the wrong side of the road and crashed into their vehicle.

Today, Company B-1 conducted a memorial workout for our battlers honoring both of their lives. Both Amy and Miguel were hard workers and represented Company B-1 well.

Amy graduated from Cesar E. Chavez High School in 2012 and had always dreamed of coming to Texas A&M and joining the Corps of Cadets. She came into the university pursuing a Construction Science degree with multiple scholarships from various institutions. She always had a smile on her famous and a giving heart. Everyone who crossed her path loved her.

Miguel came into Texas A&M as a General Studies major and had a love for the people around him. His buddy Arturo Hutera always said that he checked up or his buddies throughout their hard times they encountered. Miguel impacted so many people to better themselves.

In honor of both Amy and Miguel, the "Walk like MADD" is hosting a walk/run 5K to raise money for prevention/ awareness of drunk drivers. Texas has one of the highest rates of drunk driving fatalities. Let's make a difference and get home safely.

Howdy! It is time for the first BOTW for the 2024-2025 school year! Our first BOTW is our very own commanding officer, Rachelle Benitez Devilbiss! Rachelle is from Waxhaw, NC, is majoring in meteorology, and hopes to branch engineering or air defense artillery. When she isn’t busy looking at clouds, Rachelle enjoys being outside, doing crossword puzzles, and getting boba with friends. On the Quad, she also serves as the Corps Women Basketball captain and is a Alpha Company PL. Make sure to give Rachelle a BIG HOWDY if you see her around!
