520 ‡aOne hundred years ago President Woodrow Wilson signed the National Defense Act of 1916 establishing the Reserve Officers' Training Corps. Throughout the ensuring century, the United States and its Army faced numerous challenges both at home and overseas. Wars were fought against despotic foreign regimes, periodic economic downturns were endured, and U.S.-led peacekeeping operations contributed to enhanced global stability. Making a critical difference during all these times of peril were men and women who received their start in Army ROTC. History has proven those who participate in the program develop leadership and managerial skills that last a lifetime. This volume traces the proud history of Army ROTC from its 19th Century origins through the contemporary period. With over 600,000 graduates to its credit, Army ROTC arguably can be said to have had a lasting impact on virtually all elements of American society. Among its graduates may be found three former secretaries of state and a sitting Supreme Court justice. Few other American institutions can boast of similar success. The challenges currently facing America's Army are far different than those it had to address when the ROTC program first came into existence. But as Army ROTC enters its second century, it is well-positioned to continue to provide the talented leaders our Army and nation needs. -- Inside jacket flap.
