The University of Scranton Department of Military Science supports the U.S. Cadet Command Mission Statement:

U.S. Army Cadet Command, through precise recruiting, rigorous leader development and focused retention, commissions the future Army Officer leadership for service to the Army and Nation; in addition, motivates young people through caring leadership and positive influence to be better citizens for life-long service to community.

I am an Army Cadet. Soon I will take an oath and become an Army officer committed to DEFENDING the values which make this Nation great. HONOR is my touchstone. I understand MISSION first and PEOPLE always.

I am the PAST - the spirit of those WARRIORS who made the final sacrifice.

I am the PRESENT - the scholar and apprentice soldier enhancing my skills in the science of war and art of leadership.

But above all, I am the FUTURE – the future WARRIOR LEADER of the United States Army.  May God give me the compassion and judgment to lead and the gallantry in battle to WIN.

I WILL do my DUTY.

Cadets commission from the Royal Warrior Battalion and enter the Army as Second Lieutenants who are competent, fit, professional, and caring leaders.  Ensure they are Second Lieutenants who possess the skills to go forward and successfully serve the Army.
