Activities

Color Guard

The Army Color Guard provides an activity for cadets interested in developing skills in close order drill and building self confidence and discipline. Color Guard represents the Military Science Department by carrying the American, state and organization flags during the various ceremonies, such as graduation, memorial services, Arizona Cardinals football games and community events such as parades. The Color Guard also ensures the U.S. Army customs and courtesies with regard to the National Colors are observed by raising and lowering the flag with honors. Color Guard is also offered as a University club which supports the ideals of patriotism, honor and respect for our nation and the world-wide symbol of freedom: the flag of the United States of America.

Ranger Challenge
