U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps — Fresno, California

Chart Your Course. Build Your Character.

Fresno Battalion trains young people in discipline, seamanship, and leadership — from drill deck to open water, cadets grow into confident leaders ready for anything.

Our Mission

Discipline today. Leadership for life.

Fresno Battalion exists to help young Americans develop honor, respect, commitment, and service — the same values carried by the sea services for generations. Through hands-on training in naval tradition, cadets learn what they are capable of.

Every drill, every evolution, every rank earned builds on the last. Cadets leave our program with skills, confidence, and friendships that last far beyond their final muster.
