The Commemorative celebration of 50 years of DET 607 and ROTC Officer production at Fayetteville State University was held May 4, 2024 within the execution of a Dining Out. The cadets of DET 607 did a great job and the guest speaker MG Rodney O. Anderson was outstanding. He did an exceptional  job connecting the Bronco  Military Association’s theme of a Call To Serve – Past-Present- Future. One of the most important aspects of his speech focused on the need for a strong military in past, present, and future societies. He stated that nations must follow laws to maintain survival, and a strong military is one of the greatest assets needed to insure a humane society. This statement epitomizes why it is vitally important that DET 607 continues the development of our future military and nation’s leaders.

This 50th Celebration was a major accomplishment in several ways. Again, the need for DET 607 and the military was confirmed. The cadets gained valuable lessons in teamwork which is one of our goals as the Bronco Military Association. Moreover, the Association has committed to a scholarship fund for the FSU cadets.
