4th Battalion, Golden Eagles
The 4th Battalion, 414th Infantry Regiment (4-414 SROTC) currently based at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, provides Army Reserve TPU Soldiers that serve as adjunct faculty with Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps programs under the US Army Cadet Command. 4-414 SROTC supports programs at colleges and universities across the western United States, including 25 states west of the Mississippi River and all the way to Guam.
Unlike traditional Army Reserve Soldiers who participate in one weekend a month unit training assemblies (UTA's), the Soldiers of 4-414 SROTC routinely teach during the week at their university or college of assignment. Reserve Soldiers provide classroom instruction in the form of lectures and written tests. Those same Soldiers provide experience and guidance during leadership labs, where theory is put into practical application in subjects such as land navigation, rifle marksmanship, and other field craft.
Cadets headed to the Army Reserve after graduation, receive mentorship and assistance in determining their Army Reserve career path. This program, United States Army Reserve (USAR) Cadet Initial Career Advocacy, provides cadets with guidance, mentorship, and contacts from experienced Army Reserve officers and Senior NCO's in choosing their branch and assignment upon commissioning and after graduation.
