The Army is reorganizing its Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) programs to emphasize units at colleges and universities located in southern and southwestern U.S., Army Times reported Tuesday.
By 2030, Army Cadet Command plans to set up at least 13 ROTC units in Texas, Florida and California, where enrollment in institutions of higher education is statistically on the rise, Army Times reported, citing Cadet Command officials. It will also reduce, but not fully eliminate, 18 programs at colleges in the Northeast and Midwest that have struggled to meet their commissioning requirements over the past decade.
