Identification and Analysis of the Environmental Factors Affecting Relationships between ROTC Cadre and Academe

Abstract

This study addressed the problems of the military operating within the bounds of academe. The tasks were to delineate environmental factors, order them by frequency of occurrence, and relate them to selected variables. Two ROTC cadre, an administrator, and a faculty member at 100 universities with Army ROTC programs were randomly selected and invited to participate. Sixty-nine percent responded to the question--If you were giving candid guidance to an Army officer about to be assigned as a faculty member in the Military Science Department (ROTC), what three items of advice would you give to enhance specifically the success of the military member at your institution? Ten categories resulted. By frequency of occurrence they were: Be active in campus academic and social events. Know the institution and ROTC program. Be a good teacher and student counselor. Retain the professional soldier image. Time management. Public relations. Formal advanced education. Cost of living. Effects on a military career. Community activities involvement.
