This page is intended for anyone who is interested in following the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps Unit at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida. The NROTC Unit at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is committed to developing quality officers in the United States Navy and Marine Corps. The midshipmen within the Battalion accomplish this through physical training, c

lose order drill, community service, and leadership opportunities available from the Battalion or elsewhere. Midshipmen also have summer training each year to learn more about the different communities in the Navy. Rising 3/C midshipmen that go on summer training attend Career Orientation and Training for Midshipmen, or CORTRAMID. On CORTRAMID, the midshipmen spend a week each with the surface, submarine, aviation, and Marine Corps communities. Rising 2/C Navy option midshipmen that go on summer training spend time aboard either a ship or submarine and are assigned running mates from the enlisted ranks to get a firsthand view of how life aboard the ship or submarine is from them. Rising 2/C Marine option midshipmen attend Mountain Warfare Training where they learn different survival techniques and get ready for Officer Candidate School the following summer which they attend as 1/C midshipmen.

1/C Navy option midshipmen can be assigned to a ship, submarine, or squadron. They are assigned junior officers as running mates to get an idea of their role within the command. 1/C Navy option midshipmen can also spend time with the Special Forces community (Explosive Ordnance Disposal or SEALs) or go on a Foreign Exchange cruise in which they train with a foreign navy.

From 15-17 NOV, ERAU’s Marine Option Company, and candidates from Officer Selection Team - Orlando, partook in the FA24 Tiger Bay FEX. The FEX is designed to prepare Marine Officer Candidates mentally and physically for the rigors of follow-on training (such as Officer Candidates School). Candidates were placed in a high stress/intense environment where they conducted training events seen at OCS: an Endurance Course, Day and Night Land Navigation, 5-Paragraph Operations Orders, and Small Unit Leadership Evaluations.

Today on October 31, the battalion conducted their annual Halloween PT! Great work midshipman!

Spring 24 SWO LDE was a huge success!! Thanks to our amazing staff who made this awesome training possible!!
