The Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) is a college program in the United States designed to train students to become officers in the U.S. Armed Forces. Participants receive military training while pursuing their academic degrees, allowing them to develop leadership skills and military knowledge. ROTC programs are available at many colleges and universities, offering scholarships and financial assistance to students. Upon graduation, cadets are commissioned as officers in the military, serving in various branches such as the Army, Navy, or Air Force. This program helps bridge the gap between civilian education and military service.
