The Mitchell’s Rifle Squadron or MRS is a group of highly motivated cadets in pursuit of honoring America and the veterans who have served the Armed Forces through precision in drill.

The Mitchell’s Rifle Squadron mission is to perform precise drill to honor America and the Armed Forces, as well as foster esprit de corps among the ROTC cadets of the University of Portland. This is accomplished by volunteering to serve at various ceremonies in the community, on campus, and for Det. 695 AFROTC. Such service includes exhibition rifle drill and color guard demonstrations. 

Membership is open to all ROTC cadets at the University of Portland. In order to be considered an active member, you must actively attend MRS practices, pass an Open Ranks Inspection (ORI) and a Flight Drill Evaluation (FDE), and participate in at least one Color Guard per year.
