Lead in conjunction with Operation Buckeye, an organization "formed with the sole purpose of sending boxes to our troops as a way to thank them for their efforts and to bring them a touch of home," Ohio State's Army ROTC and Office of Military and Veteran Services lead a military themed service project.

The project was completed just before the Ohio State Buckeyes football game against the Army Black Knights.

On September 16, the Buckeyes will play their first-ever football game with the Knights. What better way to prepare than to team-up with a service organization that sends boxes to troops?
