Commander's Intent
When was the idea of ROTC first implemented
1819
In 1819, through the efforts of Captain Alden Partridge, the American Literary, Scientific, and Military Academy – known today as Norwich University – was founded. It was there that training in military tactics was first offered as a component of the curriculum of civilian college in America. Under this concept, college educated men would receive a strong foundation in military tactics. During times of national crisis, these “citizen- soldiers” would be available for service in the militia. The Morrill Act of 1862 spurred additional availability of military training on American college campuses. Enacted during the Civil War, the Morrill Act provided federal lands to state-supported colleges, provided that training in military tactics was available.

Who said:
the model for our officers, which was built on the model of the citizenry and reflective of democratic ideals, was to be different. They were to be possessed of a democratic spirit marked by independent judgment, the freedom to measure action and to express disagreement, and the crucial responsibility never to tolerate tyranny.
William Deresiewicz at West Point to the Plebe Class in 2009.
