Welcome and thank you for taking the initiative to excel in a challenging academic environment and to consider serving your Nation as a Leader in our Army. The Cadet Handbook has been developed by the Cadre and Corps of Cadets of the Truman State University Army ROTC program in order to assist students in achieving a successful transition into college life and the Army ROTC’s Leadership Development Program (LDP).
