JOIN CUIDC 2023!
Cornell University Invitational Drill Competition (CUIDC)
CUIDC is a premier event that brings together the best and brightest ROTC units and Military Academies from the Northeast and beyond. At CUIDC, teams gather to compete in a variety of challenges, encompassing both individualized and team Drill as well as Military Excellence Competition (MEC) events. The competition tests not only physical prowess but also the mental resilience, discipline, and teamwork that are hallmarks of successful military units. Set against the backdrop of Cornell University’s historic campus, the 42nd annual iteration of CUIDC will be held from October 20-21st, 2023.
CUIDC offers participating teams a unique opportunity to demonstrate their collective skills and individual talents. It is more than just a competition; it’s a celebration of military precision, discipline, and the shared commitment to excellence that binds all participants.
However, the CUIDC experience extends beyond the arena of competition. The event provides a rare occasion for participating units to interact, exchange experiences, and gain insights into the operational practices of their peers. This atmosphere of friendly competition, mutual learning, and shared respect makes CUIDC an enriching experience for all involved.
