‘Per Ardua, Ad Alta’
“Through hard work, great things are achieved”
El Toro Battalion is located in Irvine, California. Our goal is to instill discipline, pride, motivation, self-reliance, and self-respect in our cadets. It is through exciting training evolutions and proper training that we accomplish this.
El Toro Battalion is active year around. Our weekend drill dates change monthly. Please refer to our Unit Calendar for the Plan of the Month (POM)
UNIT HISTORY
El Toro Battalion was initially the Trieste 2 Division. In 2004, we became a Seabee Battalion. We also changed our name to honor the men and women that served on the El Toro Air Station. Trieste had long been a successful unit in the U.S. Naval Sea Cadets Corps, and now as El Toro Battalion, we have continued to provide a high quality youth program for the Orange County community.

been committed to providing American youth with a drug-and
alcohol-free environment to foster their leadership abilities, broaden their horizons through hands-on training, and guide them to become mature young adults.
