Military training has been a part of the University of Maine for more than 150 years. The commissioning of Army Officers from this program is a time honored tradition that continues today as each spring, we commission new Second Lieuten
ants into the United States Army. The Army Reserve Officer Training Corps at the University of Maine is a voluntary program designed to enhance a student’s education by providing unique and challenging leadership and management experience. This program helps students develop self esteem, self-discipline, physical stamina, teamwork, management skills, and other qualities essential to success in any workplace. The Black Bear Battalion currently has over 8o cadets enrolled in the program and is the only Army ROTC program in the state of Maine. These cadets come from various degree programs including engineering, nursing, criminal justice, political science, and many other academic programs. The battalion staff possess decades of valuable experience that they draw from to teach these cadets what it means to be a leader in today’s modern Army. The program involves both classroom and applied learning. Through “hands on” instruction, students learn and practice related skills. Through activities like orienteering, paintball, rappelling, rifle marksmanship, and field training exercises, the program stresses teamwork and the application of leadership principles to overcome situational problems and obstacles. As students progress through the program, senior cadets are given the opportunity to lead and teach underclassmen. The Black Bear Battalion has a long history full of tradition and pride that is instilled in each cadet that joins our corps of cadets.
