General Information

The Corps of Cadets at New Mexico Military Institute operates within the framework of a military organization with a cadet chain of command, headed by a Cadet Regimental Commander, under the supervision of the Commandant of Cadets and his staff. Working closely with the regimental commander and other cadet commanders, the staff is composed of officers and non-commissioned officers of the U.S. Army in the Military Science Division and other highly trained professional leaders, either retired military or with military experience. Upon enrollment, new cadets become part of the Corps under the traditional “new cadet-old cadet” system. New cadets are generally assigned to rooms in the barracks with fellow new cadets of the same academic year. Periodically, they may have a roommate that is one class behind or ahead of them. As a new cadet, the cadet is trained and held to the highest standards.
