Jackson native new head of Army ROTC
Lt. Col. Marcus D. Majure, a Jackson native and 18-year veteran Army officer, is the new head of the military science department.
A master aviator and former attack/scout helicopter pilot with the 101st Airborne Division, Majure succeeded Lt. Col. Mark McManigal as professor of military science and head of MSU’s Army ROTC program July 5. McManigal was reassigned after three years in the post.
“I am very excited to have the opportunity to return to my home state, surrounded by my family and friends,” said the new ROTC leader, a 1982 graduate of Forest Hill High School.
Majure was commissioned as an Army aviation second lieutenant in 1987 after graduating with honors from Delta State University with a degree in commercial aviation. Also a Distinguished Military Graduate of the DSU Army Reserve Officer’s Training Corps, he later served in the 101st Airborne Division 1988-92.
He earned a master’s degree in human relations administration from Central Michigan University in 2002, and subsequently served as an assistant professor in logistics and resource operations for the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College.
