🇺🇸 Roadrunner Battalion at the 2026 Command Reception 🇺🇸

UTSA Army ROTC was proud to represent the Roadrunner Battalion at the 2026 Command Reception hosted by the Greater San Antonio Chamber of Commerce at Stable Hall.

In Military City USA, relationships between our military, universities, businesses, and community leaders matter. The Command Reception provided our Cadets an outstanding opportunity to engage with military command teams and leaders from across the San Antonio community while seeing firsthand the importance of building partnerships beyond the formation.

Representing UTSA Army ROTC were Professor of Military Science LTC Gilberto Malave; Assistant Professors of Military Science CPT Monica Santoyo and CPT Analyn Torres; Cadet Battalion Commander Kathleen Arvizu; Cadet Battalion Command Sergeant Major Julius Calhun; Cadet Battalion Executive Officer Cheikhouna Nounez; Cadet Battalion S3 Sean Edmonson; CDT Johan Villamil; and CDT Sergio Jimenez.

We were also glad to spend time with our sister ROTC program and fellow military leaders from across San Antonio, including Saint Mary’s University Army ROTC Professor of Military Science LTC James Nance, 5th Recruiting Brigade Commander COL Bennett, and UTSA Air Force ROTC Detachment Commander COL Parsons. These relationships strengthen the connections among our ROTC programs, recruiting partners, sister services, and the greater San Antonio military community.

For our Cadets, opportunities like this are an important part of developing future Army officers. Leadership is not only built in the classroom, during PT, or in the field. It is also developed through professional engagement, relationship building, and understanding how the Army works alongside our sister services and the communities we serve.

Thank you to the Greater San Antonio Chamber of Commerce and the San Antonio community for continuing to support our service members and future military leaders.

This summer, 32 Roadrunner Cadets took the next step in their development as future Army officers at Cadet Summer Training (CST) at Fort Knox, Kentucky. 🇺🇸

Training alongside Army ROTC Cadets from across the country, our Roadrunners were challenged physically, mentally, and tactically in an environment designed to test their leadership and prepare them for greater responsibilities within the Battalion and as future Army officers.

Throughout CST, they were placed in situations that required them to lead their peers, make decisions under pressure, adapt when conditions changed, work as part of a team, and continue performing through adversity.

Just as important as their successes were the opportunities to learn. CST gave our Cadets the chance to identify their strengths, recognize areas for improvement, learn from their mistakes, and gain experience outside the familiar environment of the Roadrunner Battalion.

Our 32 Cadets now bring those lessons and experiences back to the formation as they continue their development and help prepare the next generation of Roadrunners.

We are proud of every Cadet who represented the Roadrunner Battalion at Fort Knox this summer.

32 MS3 Roadrunners. One Battalion. A summer of leadership and growth.

The standard continues to rise.

Two Roadrunners. Two Army schools. Two hard-earned badges. 🪂🚁

This summer, CDT Repman and CDT Prezas represented the Roadrunner Battalion at two of the Army’s most recognized training schools.
CDT Repman successfully completed Airborne School, earning his Airborne wings, while CDT Prezas successfully completed Air Assault School, earning the Air Assault Badge.

Both schools demand discipline, physical readiness, attention to detail, and the ability to perform under pressure. These opportunities challenged our Cadets outside their normal ROTC training environment and gave them the opportunity to train alongside Soldiers and leaders from across the Army.

Their accomplishments represent more than the badges they earned. They return to the Roadrunner Battalion with greater experience, confidence, and lessons they can share with their fellow Cadets.

Congratulations to CDT Repman and CDT Prezas on their accomplishments and for representing the Roadrunner Battalion!

Airborne! Air Assault!

Day Zero marked the official start of Academic Year 2026–2027 for the Roadrunner Battalion. 🪖

Yesterday, 203 Cadets came together for a full day of in-processing, orientation, and preparation for the new academic year.

Throughout the day, Cadets completed administrative and accountability requirements and received briefings from the Professor of Military Science, JBSA SHARP/VA representative, UTSA Title IX, the 5th Brigade Nurse, and recruiters from the U.S. Army Reserve and Texas Army National Guard.

Our UTSA Human Resources Assistants (HRAs) and Supply Technician individually in-processed each of our new Cadets, ensuring they completed the administrative and supply requirements necessary to begin the academic year.

Cadre met with Cadets by Military Science (MS) level, providing an introduction to their respective MS classes and an overview of what to expect throughout the academic year.

Our newest Roadrunners were also assigned to their respective platoons and introduced to their Cadet chain of command, beginning their integration into the Battalion. MS IV Cadets led new Cadets on tours of UTSA and ROTC facilities, helping them become familiar with the campus and the resources they will use throughout the year.

Breakfast and lunch were provided as we brought the entire Battalion together to prepare for the year ahead.

For our returning Cadets, Day Zero was an opportunity to reconnect, step back into their leadership roles, and help establish the standard. For our newest Roadrunners, it marked the beginning of their journey as members of the Roadrunner Battalion and Army ROTC.

203 Cadets. One team. One standard. One Battalion.

AY 26–27 starts now.

We had the privilege of recognizing three outstanding leaders whose dedication, professionalism, and selfless service left a lasting impact on the Roadrunner Battalion.

It was an honor to present farewell plaques to LTC Stephanie Dorsey-Boatman, CPT Robert Brownlee, and CPT Michael Hill in appreciation of their commitment to our Cadets, Cadre, and the Army ROTC mission.

Each played a unique role in our success, helping develop future Army officers while fostering a culture of excellence, teamwork, and service. Their contributions will continue to be felt long after their departure.

On behalf of the UTSA Army ROTC Cadre, Staff, and Cadets, thank you for your leadership, friendship, and unwavering dedication. We wish each of you continued success in your next chapter.

Thank you for everything!

The Roadrunner Battalion proudly celebrated its Spring 2026 Commissioning Ceremony, commissioning 28 new Second Lieutenants into the United States Army as they completed their journey through Army ROTC and prepared to begin the next chapter of service and leadership.

This ceremony marked the culmination of years of discipline, sacrifice, commitment, and hard work. Surrounded by family, friends, cadre, and fellow cadets, our newly commissioned officers were recognized for their accomplishments and the responsibility they now carry forward as Army leaders.

We extend our sincere appreciation to Major General E. Darin Cox, Commanding General of the 18th Theater Medical Command at Fort Shafter, Hawaii, for serving as the keynote speaker and sharing his leadership, experience, and words of wisdom with the commissioning class. We also thank Dr. Salvador Hector Ochoa, President of Texas A&M University–San Antonio, for his continued support of Army ROTC and the commissioning ceremony.

Special thanks to the ARNORTH Band for supporting the ceremony and helping make this event memorable for our cadets, families, and guests.

To the newly commissioned officers: never forget that rank is not a privilege, it is a responsibility. Lead with character, remain humble, enforce standards, take care of your Soldiers, and never ask others to do what you are unwilling to do yourself. The Army will test you professionally, physically, and morally. Meet those challenges with courage, integrity, and resilience.

Congratulations to the Spring 2026 commissioning class. Your hard work and dedication brought you to this moment, and your leadership will continue to make an impact wherever you serve.

One team. One battalion. One unforgettable night.

This semester’s Cadet Ball brought together the Roadrunner Battalion to celebrate the tradition, professionalism, and camaraderie that continue to strengthen our program.

The evening reflected the pride, discipline, and esprit de corps within the battalion, from honoring military customs and recognizing shared accomplishments to creating lasting memories alongside fellow cadets, cadre, families, and guests. Events like these reinforce the bonds that extend beyond the classroom, the field, and daily formations.

The Cadet Ball was conducted in accordance with university and ROTC standards, and no alcohol was authorized or served during the event.

Thank you to everyone who helped plan, support, and attend this year’s Cadet Ball. Leadership is built through discipline, standards, and training, but also through the trust, unity, and relationships forged along the way.

The Roadrunner Battalion remains committed to developing future Army leaders grounded in character, service, and teamwork.

Leadership is not defined by rank alone, but by service, commitment, accountability, and the example set for others to follow.

The Roadrunner Battalion recognizes and thanks the outgoing cadet leadership team for their dedication, hard work, and lasting impact on this program. Their efforts helped shape the battalion and set the conditions for continued success.

We also welcome the incoming leaders who will carry the battalion forward into the next semester with pride, discipline, and purpose.

The responsibility of leadership is earned daily through actions, standards, and selfless service to others.

Thank you to those passing the torch, and congratulations to those stepping into new roles. The future of the Roadrunner Battalion remains strong.

Seven cadets from the Roadrunner Battalion traveled to White Sands, New Mexico to compete in the prestigious Bataan Memorial Death March, proudly representing the battalion and 5th ROTC Brigade in one of the Army’s most demanding endurance events.
The team consisted of five cadets competing as a team and two individual racers, all of whom demonstrated exceptional resilience, discipline, and mental toughness throughout the course. The Bataan Memorial Death March is more than a race—it is a tribute to the Soldiers who endured the hardships of the original Bataan Death March, and every step taken honors their sacrifice and legacy.
Our Roadrunners carried that legacy forward with pride, pushing through challenging terrain and conditions while representing the battalion, the brigade, and the Army with professionalism. Their participation reflects not only physical readiness, but a deep respect for history and the Warrior Ethos.
Proud of these cadets for stepping up, embracing the challenge, and representing the Roadrunner Battalion on a national stage.
Victory or Death!
