NEW
Leadership Transition Ceremony
As of May 2nd, the James Monroe Battalion proudly welcomed its new leadership team for the 2025–2026 school year. The battalion of command has officially been passed down from C/LTC Freddy Pahua, who honorably served as the Battalion Commander during the 2024–2025 term. After a year of dedicated service and leadership, Pahua made the important decision to appoint the next generation of leaders who will guide the battalion to new heights. Leading the charge as the new Battalion Commander is Melly-Ann Carmona, whose commitment and determination have earned her this respected role. Supporting her will be Kevin Alvarez as the new Command Sergeant Major, ensuring discipline, unity, and morale remain strong within the battalion. Rounding out the command team is Alondra Hernandez, who will take on the critical role of Executive Officer, assisting in operations and helping the battalion run smoothly. Together, this leadership team is prepared to build upon past successes and set the standard for excellence in the year ahead.
