The Regional Annual Administrative and Tactical Inspection (RAATI) is a vital component of the Philippine Armyโs vision and strategic goals, ensuring that the ROTC program remains responsive, effective, and aligned with the continuous development of the Reserve Force.
RAATI evaluates a unitโs compliance with standard operating procedures and thoroughly assesses cadets in physical fitness, discipline, military bearing, knowledge, and tactical skills across various areas. These include Drills and Ceremonies such as Arrival of Honors, Ceremonial Parade, Company Drill, and Rank Inspection; Small Unit Tactics involving Ambush and Raid Scenarios; Basic Life Support; Weapons Disassembly and Assembly; Map Reading (Theory and Practical); Military Comprehensive Examinations; Administrative Inspections; and Silent Drills.
The Administrative Inspection specifically evaluates the completeness, organization, and accuracy of documents and records handled by the Brigade Staff Sections from S1 to S7, including personnel management, training records, operational reports, logistics documentation, plans, communications, and other official unit files, ensuring compliance with ROTC and Philippine Army standards.
At 1300H, the dedicated Cadets and Cadettes of the SNSU Main Campus ROTC Unit demonstrated their commitment, discipline, and professionalism during the Regional Annual Administrative and Tactical Inspection A.Y. 2025โ2026.

The success of this yearโs RAATI stands as a testament to the unwavering dedication of the unit in developing capable, disciplined, and accountable future leaders who are prepared to serve the nation with honor, patriotism, and excellence.
