Consortium Command Structure

Auburn Naval ROTC is part of the Auburn-Tuskegee NROTC Consortium. This means that while we are two separate units, both Auburn and Tuskegee share a command structure. Below is a graphic that shows the breakdown of the Consortium staff, with blue indicating Auburn-only staff, red indicating Tuskegee-only staff, and red and blue indicating staff that oversees both units.
