Celebrate a proud legacy of American service with this Army Auxiliary Cadet Program Tee, patterned after the classic U.S. Army ROTC shoulder patch used from the 1950s through the 1970s. This historic design has been reimagined for the modern Army Auxiliary — preserving the heritage while inspiring the next generation of citizen-soldiers.

At the center stands the golden torch of knowledge, symbolizing leadership, enlightenment, and the pursuit of excellence. The horizontal bands of blue, white, and red represent loyalty, integrity, and valor, while the bold black border signifies strength, resolve, and unity of purpose. Encircling the emblem are the words “Army Auxiliary” and “Cadet Program,” proudly connecting today’s mission to a lineage of leadership training that helped shape America’s officers during the Cold War era.
