Color Guard
Cadets from each of the Pride of PA's three schools have the opportunity to participate in their school's Color Guard. The Battalion frequently gets requests from organizations both at the universities and in the Erie community for a Color Guard to be present at an event. The Color Guard consists of Cadets in a uniform befitting the occasion that will escort the colors out before the national anthem and will retrieve it either after the anthem or at the closing of the event.
Participation in the Color Guard is optional and takes place outside of the regular hours of ROTC. Cadets are recognized for their service through additional items to be work on their dress uniforms and are given extra points in the accessions process that ranks cadets nationally.

Drill Team
Since 1775, drill has been a key facet of the discipline and teamwork embodied by the United States Army. The fundamentals of coordinated movement and attention to detail have sustained our army for over 200 years. The Pride of PA Army ROTC Drill Team represents US Army ROTC at official and school events. Members of the platoon come from Gannon University, Mercyhurst University, and Penn State Behrend.
