An Army officer is a leader and prestigious professional in the most respected institution in America. Founded in 1916, more than 500,000 lieutenants in America's Army came from Army ROTC. For men and women seeking to serve their country, Army ROTC provides the broadest avenue, producing 60 percent of the Army's officers.
