Company A-1--Animal A--The First of the Finest......the Finest of the First--The World's Largest Marching Zoo!




Welcome to Company A-1’s website. I would like to encourage you took look around, but please be patient, because the site is still under construction. Thank you for your understanding and interest. On this website, one can find photo albums, alumni contact lists, chain of command, and much more. We encourage everyone to learn about this outstanding outfit. Our mission and vision, linked below, are the reasons for Company A-1's existence: to make each cadet, willing to answer the challenge of being an Animal, a superior leader and more mature person. Company A-1, also known as Animal A, is the oldest outfit in the Corps of Cadets at Texas A&M University. In fact, it is the only outfit that has been in existence since the school opened in 1876. Members of A-1, animals, pride themselves in this rich history and their effort to spearhead the Corps of Cadets into the future. Animal A is an integrated, non-technical, Army ROTC unit that combines leadership training with practical pre-professional experience. Company A-1 animals participate and are leaders in many university organizations including Rudder's Rangers, Fish Drill Team, Impact, Ranger Challenge, and the Student Conference on National Affairs. It is no wonder that over seventy cadets, before each home football game, announce at the top of their lungs that A-1 is the "BEST DAMN OUTFIT ANYWHERE!"
