Every year the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) recognizes some of our top Reserve Officer Training Corp (ROTC) cadets.  On behalf of the AUSA, the Carlisle Barracks and Cumberland Valley Chapter presents awards to those deserving cadets in Chapter area schools including two ROTC programs at Dickinson College and Shippensburg University, and five JROTC programs at Carson Long, Cedar Cliff, Cumberland Valley, Gettysburg, and Red Land High Schools.  The award ceremonies are typically held every spring, April – June before graduation.
