The Red Army was founded at the beginning of the 2006-07 season as an outgrowth of the previous season's Go Be Red competition. Its goal is to be a group of active fans at RPI athletic events akin to the pep band, only without instruments.
Though initial excitement was quite high, the Red Army has largely failed to live up to many people's expectations in its first year. This is partly due to the fact that its membership is largely freshmen who have taken time to learn the traditions of RPI athletics (or in many cases, haven't bothered to do so). Its members also have generated animosity with other fans at home hockey games by standing up and partially obstructing their view of the game.
