Welcome to the Texas Caissons Alumni Network!

The Texas Caissons is a not-for-profit corporation, organized in 1990, whose purpose is to support the Army ROTC (AROTC) Cadets of the University of Texas at Austin. Caissons members are graduates and friends of UT and or AROTC who believe in the ROTC mission and the benefit of the Army ROTC program. The Caissons roster encompasses not only active members, but all officers commissioned through the UT Austin ROTC program since 1934. Currently there are 1,784 people listed, with more than 60% residing in Texas, and the remaining 40% "Changing the World" from across the globe.
