The Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps named UW-Madison’s Air Force ROTC program one of the best in the country after awarding it the Right of Line award for best small detachment in the nation.
This is the first time detachment 925, which consists of members from UW-Madison, UW-Whitewater, Edgewood College and Maranatha Baptist Bible College, has received the national award.
Criteria for the award includes engagement in university activities, community participation, military preparedness, and success in meeting AFROTC academic, fitness and retention goals.
Other qualifications to show success beyond standard Air Force ROTC requirements include a detachment’s grade point average and physical fitness test scores.
The award was announced during the Commander’s Conference at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery, Ala.
