4-Year Traditional Program of Study
Traditionally, 军队参加后备役军官训练军团 is a four-year program. The first two years of the program comprise the Basic Course (MS-I and MS-II). You can enroll in the program for the first two years without incurring any future military obligation (if you don't have an ROTC scholarship).
After you've successfully completed the Basic Course, you can compete to gain admission into the Advanced Course (MS-III and MS-IV). It's during this part of the program that you'll get to put your newfound management skills to the test.
As a Cadet in the Advanced Course, you'll spend 5-weeks during the summer between your junior and senior years attending Advanced Camp. In camp, you'll be asked to handle the complex tasks of a unit leader. You may have to lead your group across difficult terrain or build a bridge across a river. You may have to solve difficult personnel problems, or be in charge of expensive military equipment. It's all meant to teach you how to think quickly when the pressure is on and how to motivate your team.
Then, as a cadet in the Advanced Course, your management skills will continue to be sharpened. You'll teach new ROTC students what you've learned. And when you graduate from college, you're ready to be a commissioned officer in the U. S. 军队. During your four years in the program, 所有后备军官训练队教材, 制服, and essential materials will be furnished at no cost. 除了, if selected for the Advanced Course, you'll receive an allowance of up to $2,每年1000万.
The 2-Year Program of Study
If you miss the first two years of ROTC, and you are a graduate of a junior or community college entering a two-year postgraduate course of study, you may still qualify for a commission through the two-year program. In this program, you must first attend the ROTC Leaders Training Camp (LTC) for a four week period. 在LTC, you will learn the basic cadet skills taught during the first two years in Military Science Courses. Upon successful completion, you'll be eligible for the Advanced Course!
Veterans, Reservists, and 警卫smen may automatically qualify to enter the Advanced Course! For more information, please 永利app新版本官网地址.
