Development of ROTC (Reserve Officers' Training Corps) Data Sets and Evaluation of Their Usefulness for Officer Longitudinal Research Data Base

Abstract

The U.S. Army Research Institute has developed an Officer Longitudinal Research Data Base (OLRDB) to support a variety of research objectives. The Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) advanced camp and commissioning files for 1982 through 1985 were organized and matched to the OLRDB core data set. The resulting data sets are used to evaluate the usefulness of ROTC historical data on the ORLDB for estimating the relationship between scholarships and retention. This relationship was found to be useful; however, additional years of OLRDB data would provide a better base for analysis. Keywords: Separation, Officer data base, Active duty, Cadets, Leadership training.
