Commander’s Cup 🏆

The Commander’s Cup brought together Army, Air Force, and Navy ROTC’s for a series of physical challenges focused on teamwork, leadership, and competition.

After Air Force was eliminated on Day 1, Army and Navy faced off in the ultimate test: Flag Football.

Navy came out on top with a hard-fought 42-36 victory over Army!

We are proud of all the midshipmen and cadets who competed and represented their branches.

GO NAVY! BEAT ARMY!
