Proposed Improvements to the Army Senior ROTC Program

The basic requirement is to improve ROTC operations to the degree necessary to eliminate projected shortfall in officer accessions. Increasing enrollment of students in the program and retaining more of them once they enroll would meet the requirement. Data were gathered by researching files for historical background, survey data, and recommendations. Senior ROTC Professors of Military Science PMS were surveyed for ideas. Estimated increases in enrollment were obtained. The Army needs to define more clearly what we want from ROTC, provide better, more acceptable access into the program, and provide PMS flexibility.
