“From facilities to athletics, safety, staff and administration, everyone that is a part of the university played a role in enabling our program and our cadets to achieve this honor.” Embry-Riddle’s Daytona Beach Army ROTC, known as the Eagle Battalion , also won best program in the Southeast in 2019 and is known for its community service, including mentorship of local Junior ROTC cadets. The program is the third highest-producing Army ROTC organization nationally among non-senior-military colleges in 2021-2022. Douglas MacArthur Award winners are chosen based upon a combination of a school’s commissioning mission achievement, its cadets’ performance and standing on the National Order of Merit List and its cadet retention rate.
