Company I-1 was formed in the Fall of 1969. I-1 is one of the oldest Army units in the Corps that HAS NEVER BEEN DISBANDED. Over the past fifty plus years, I-1 has commissioned countless officers into the Army and on occasion into the Air Force, Marine Corps, and Navy. Today, I-1 has officers from 2LT to General serving our nation all over the world.

​

Many I-1 officers are currently serving across the globe.

Red Eye signifies the pre-dawn jumps of Airborne soldiers during World War II. To this day, I-1 has many cadets seeking a commission, and we have cadets who attend US Army Airborne and Air Assault school each summer. Red Eye One continues to have a tradition of military excellence.

Academics are always our top priority in Company I-1. We have an extensive academic support chain that has served as an example for the Corps. The Company I-1 Association rewards cadets with scholarships for academics and outstanding performance.

 

The Company I-1 Association is a huge part of the company and hosts an annual reunion every year in College Station, TX. Old Ords and Panthers from the 70's to current come out and see the cadets one more time for a home football game and they get to share some good bull stories.

​

I-1 builds leaders. And we also build a community of shared values and beliefs. Fish Buddies turn into life-long friends....

Never Say Die.
