NJROTC Program Introduction
Who we are, what we do, and why we do it. The Tomcat Regiment was established in 1996. From those humble beginnings our unit has grown dramatically. Tens of thousands of students have been part of the Tomcat Regiment. This fall we have over 400 Cadets enrolled, about 10% of the EAHS student body. We are the largest unit in the Midwest and one of the largest in the nation. Our mission is to instill in our Cadets the values of citizenship, service, personal responsibility, and a sense of accomplishment. Our instructor staff consists of 5 retired US Navy professionals. We have over 100 years of leadership experience.
