The University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS) is proud to announce the establishment of an Air Force ROTC Operating Location (OL) under AFROTC Detachment 105 (CU Boulder), officially launching in Fall 2026. This new OL will expand opportunities for UCCS students to pursue Air Force officer commissioning while benefiting from the proven leadership training, academic rigor, and professional development offered by Detachment 105. Bringing AFROTC directly to campus strengthens UCCS’s commitment to service, community, and developing future leaders for the Air and Space Forces.
