Summary:This research paper aims to assess the level of patriotism awareness and knowledge within the Reserve Officer Training Unit (ROTU) framework. This research involved a quantitative population study with a total of 2261 participants, comprising ROTU cadets from all 20 public universities. Upon data collection, a descriptive analysis was conducted to examine the participants' responses comprehensively. The analysis allowed for a systematic and quantitative evaluation of the ROTU cadets' understanding and familiarity with patriotism concepts and practices. The findings of the study revealed a strong consensus among ROTU respondents, indicating a prevailing belief that ROTU is closely associated with patriotism. Specifically, a significant majority of respondents expressed "strong agreement" with the notion that ROTU is linked to fostering a sense of patriotism. Moreover, the study also found that ROTU respondents strongly agreed that participation in the ROTU program contributes to the enhancement of individuals' patriotism levels. This finding reinforces the view that ROTU plays a vital role in cultivating the participants' commitment and love for their country. Furthermore, the majority ROTU respondents identified that "always preparing to protect the country" was recognized as pivotal in nurturing genuine affection and devotion to the nation. These findings collectively underscore the pivotal role of ROTU in nurturing a strong sense of patriotism among its participants, fostering values of dedication, loyalty, and willingness to sacrifice for the country. The alignment of ROTU respondents' perspectives on these aspects indicates a shared understanding of ROTU's role in promoting patriotism and national devotion among the participants
