How Can UTK Army ROTC Benefit me?
The attainment of a commission in the U.S. Army is a distinctive honor earned through hard work, demonstrated commitment, and a desire to serve the nation. Newly commissioned second lieutenants are normally assigned as platoon leaders, typically responsible for every aspect of training, supervising, and caring for over forty soldiers and millions of dollars worth of equipment. All army officers learn and practice the management, leadership, and decision making skills sought by leaders of public and private organizations. Postgraduate professional education, usually starts within twelve months of graduation and commissioning, and continues throughout the officer's service career. This education begins with officer basic courses that qualify the new lieutenant in his or her branch specialty. Postgraduate civilian education is an integral part of officer professional development. Active duty officers often attend fully-funded graduate programs as full-time salaried students.
