Richardson The Secretary of Defense Dear Mr. Secretary: The General Accounting Office (GAO) has reviewed the mange2Q _ee-Rerye-Off~ersiTraining Corps.(ROT.C) pro- gz-amadministered by each of the military services. We dis- cussed our observations on areasToloncer w&th the beputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Education and with managers of the ROTC program for each of the military departments and have incorporated their comments in this report. Because the ROTC programs are the principal source of officers for both the Active Forces and the Reserves, GAO examined selected areas of program management to identify those which could be improved. We particularly considered what progress the services were making in dealing with the problem of declining enrollment. In addition to our work at the headquarters of each of the services, we examined policies, procedures, and practices at 10 universities and colleges having one or more senior ROTC units and at seven high schools having junior ROTC units. The senior ROTC program, conducted at -civilian colleges and universities and at military colleges, prepares selected college students for commissions in the military services. There are 72,500 students in the 536 senior ROTC units for the 1972-73 school year. Program costs are expected to be $155 mil- lion-for fiscal year 1973. The junior ROTC program, conducted at secondary schools, fosters national pride and provides high school students with a knowledge of military subjects which will be of benefit if they enter the military services. There are 140,000 students in the 1,091 junior ROTC units for the 1972-73 school year. Program costs are expected to be $16 million for fiscal year 1973. 7o44-13 0?6
