Eight Army ROTC programs have been honored as the top units in the nation by being named winners of the 2010 MacArthur Awards. The winners were announced Tuesday at the annual Cadet Command Winter Commander’s Conference. The MacArthur Awards recognize unit performance based on the ideals of Gen. Douglas MacArthur. This year’s winners are:

• 1st Brigade, North Georgia College and State University, Dahlonega, Ga.

• 2nd Brigade, Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester, N.Y.

• 3rd Brigade, University of North Dakota, Grand Forks, N.D.

• 4th Brigade, Campbell University, Buies Creek, N.C.

• 5th Brigade, Cameron University, Lawton, Okla.

• 6th Brigade, Georgia Southern University, Statesboro, Ga.

• 7th Brigade, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, Ohio.

• 8th Brigade, Santa Clara University, Santa Clara, Calif.

The MacArthur Awards have been presented by Cadet Command and the General Douglas MacArthur Foundation since 1989.

“The awards recognize the individual units within the Army ROTC program that have achieved the standards that best represent the ideals of the watch words of ‘duty, honor, country,’ as practiced by General MacArthur,” said retired Marine Col. William Davis, executive director of the foundation. It means a lot to the colleges and universities to receive the award, Maj. Gen. Arthur Bartell, commanding general of Cadet Command said.

“It is the pinnacle for the brigade leadership represented here today,” Bartell said during the awards presentation.
