In brief
'Lobo
Battalion' joins U.S. Army Cadet Command
The United
States Army Cadet Command and UNM will host a ribbon cutting
ceremony for the Lobo Battalion to officially mark
its activation into the U.S. Army Cadet Command on Thursday,

extension program of New Mexico State University, he said.
