The University of Texas at San Antonio ROTC Unit Ranked Number One

Tom Peterson, Alamo Chapter Secretary, forwarded an article from the San Antonio Express News indicating that the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps Detachment 842 at UTSA has been ranked by the Air Force as the number one overall large unit in the nation. UTSA garnered the Right of Line Award, the most prestigious honor given to an Air Force ROTC unit. UTSA beat out competitors such as Texas A&M, Purdue and Ohio State.

The Alamo Chapter has a very active role in supporting the UTSA Detachment. Many cadets are members of the Alamo Chapter and participate in numerous recognition programs.

The unit has grown by six percent over the past decade to 226 cadets and is the second-largest unit in the state behind Texas A&M. Last year, UTSA produced 36 commissioned officers for the U.S. Air Force.
