Charlie Company Info

The Army ROTC program here at the University at Albany makes up Charlie Company (C Co.) of the Mohawk Battalion. Our cadets are mostly students attending the university but some students come from many local Colleges and Universities. If you walk around campus on a Thursday (uniform day), you're likely to see a few cadets in Army Combat Uniform (ACU), or digital camouflage attire. Other days, we're regular college students. Cadets attend classes, go to the library, the mall, and engage in regular student activities. Some cadets are prior service and have gone through basic training and other Army schools, and some have even deployed in support of combat operations. Most cadets, however, join the company as a freshmen or sophomores with no prior military background. If students miss the first and/or second year of training, they have the option to make up and training they have missed during the summer. There are so many options and our company is so diverse that anyone who is mentally able and physically fit can be enrolled in the program.
