Prescott Army ROTC

Army ROTC will give you valuable real-world tools and leadership skills that will benefit not only your professional career but your personal life as well.

In college, Army ROTC classes normally involve one elective class and one lab per semester. Although the classes involve hands-on fieldwork as well as classroom work, they are standard college classes that fit into a normal academic schedule.

Physical Fitness occurs 3-5 days per week. A Fall Semester Field Training Exercise (FTX), and a Spring Semester Field Training Exercise (FTX) are routine training events planned but fluctuate with academic year.

Army ROTC is an elective curriculum alongside your required college classes. It prepares you with the tools, training and experiences that will help you succeed in any competitive environment. Additionally, Army ROTC can pay for your college tuition too. You will have a normal college student experience like everyone else on campus, but when you graduate, you will be an Officer in the Army.

Being an Officer in the U.S. Army means you’re a leader, a counselor, a strategist and a motivator. As an Officer, you will lead other Soldiers in all situations and adjust in environments that are always changing. You’ll be driven to achieve success with your team on every mission.

Army ROTC is a one-of-a-kind experience. The challenges you face and the obstacles you’ll overcome will prepare you for future success.

A Typical ROTC Day and Week

A training day may begin with morning physical training (PT), followed by academic classes. Military science class builds leadership knowledge, while Leadership Laboratory (LLAB) provides practical team training on scheduled days. Field Training Exercises (FTX) occur periodically, rather than daily.

Physical training is scheduled 3–5 days per week. Fall and spring field training exercises and other commitments follow the battalion’s academic-year training schedule.

Every Officer receives specific training for their assigned job. Additionally, leadership training is available to all recruits. Officers attend specialized training called The Basic Officer Leader Course (BOLC) where they mentally and physically prepare for success as leaders in the Army.

After graduation, serve as an officer full-time on active duty in the Army or part time in the Army Reserve or Army National Guard. Take a look at a brief description of the differences below, and, for more details, see: Active Duty & Army Reserve or the Army National Guard website.

Active Duty Army

Serve full time for the duration of your service commitment, for the period specified in your contract, performing day-to-day operations with a specialized skillset in a specific field.

Army National Guard

Serve part-time at the state level protecting your local community or at the national level when required. The Army National Guard offers you work-life balance, flexibility, a paycheck, great benefits, and more

Army Reserve

Explore eligible unit vacancies in the United States to stay close to family and friends in a community you know while pursuing your career goals and serving your country part-time.

Army ROTC graduates are commissioned as U.S. Army Second Lieutenants. They then receive specialized training in an Army branch based on current branching procedures. During their Army careers, they’ll receive regular professional training as they advance through the ranks, and they’ll have many opportunities for advanced leadership positions, post-graduate education, and once in a lifetime experiences.

Branches by Category

The U.S. Army branches can be categorized into Operations, Operations Support, Force Sustainment, and Information Dominance, each focusing on different aspects of military operations.

Operations: The operations process involves planning, preparing, executing, and assessing a mission.

Operations support: Support operations ensure that military forces are ready and effective.

Force Sustainment: Sustainment operations provide the logistics, maintenance, and support needed to keep military forces ready and effective.

Information Dominance: Information dominance may be defined as superiority in the generation, manipulation, and use of information sufficient to afford its possessors military dominance.

Operations

Operations is where strategy meets action, the Army’s decisive edge on the battlefield. This group brings together the soldiers and leaders who plan, prepare, and execute missions that shape the outcome of every fight. Whether leading an infantry platoon, commanding a tank crew, coordinating artillery fire, or piloting helicopters through demanding conditions, Operations is about precision, adaptability, and courage under pressure.

These are the warriors at the center of every mission. Thinkers and doers who thrive in complex environments and make split-second decisions that determine success. From the first plan to the final execution, they embody the Army’s core values: teamwork, leadership, and the relentless drive to win.

This is the branch category for those who want to lead from the front; to inspire others, overcome challenges, and make an impact where it matters most.

Air Defense Artillery

The Air Defense Artillery branch protects U.S. forces, equipment and critical locations from enemy aircraft, missiles and drones. Air Defense Artillery officers use advanced radar, sensors and missile systems to detect, track and defeat aerial threats before they can strike. They provide early warning, coordinate with joint and allied forces and help control the airspace to keep soldiers safe on the ground. These officers play a key role in ensuring units can move freely, respond quickly and operate securely in combat and crisis environments.

Armor

The Armor branch provides the Army’s fast, powerful ground combat force. Armor officers lead tank and scout units that bring speed, firepower and protection to the fight. They find and defeat enemy forces, protect friendly troops and support infantry and other units. Armor officers are experts in combined-arms operations and lead from the front in demanding combat environments to help U.S. forces move, fight and win.

Chemical Corps

The Chemical Corps safeguards the force and the nation from chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) threats, including weapons of mass destruction. Chemical officers and soldiers conduct detection, identification, protection, decontamination, and consequence-management operations to ensure units can survive and continue fighting in contaminated environments. They employ advanced protective systems, sensors, and analytical tools to assess hazards, advise commanders, and integrate with joint and interagency partners to defend against emerging global CBRN challenges.

Aviation

The Aviation branch provides the Army with air mobility, reconnaissance and precision fires. Aviation officers lead aircrews and maintenance teams that plan, coordinate and execute flight operations, including troop transport, medical evacuation, surveillance and attack missions. They ensure aircraft are mission-ready, manage airspace operations and deliver rapid and flexible capabilities across the battlefield.

Engineer Corps

Engineer officers combine technical expertise with tactical skill to support combat operations and build critical infrastructure. They enable friendly movement, deny mobility to the enemy and strengthen the Army’s ability to fight and win. Engineers construct and repair roads, bases and airfields; clear obstacles and hazards; build defensive positions; and employ demolitions. They also support large-scale civil and environmental projects and help restore essential services during humanitarian and disaster-relief missions.

Field Artillery

The Field Artillery branch delivers powerful and precise fire support for Army and joint forces, earning its title as the “King of Battle.” Field Artillery officers plan, coordinate and execute fires using cannons, rockets and missiles to destroy enemy targets and protect friendly troops. They use advanced sensors and digital fire-control systems to deliver accurate strikes, from close support on the ground to long-range attacks against high-value targets.

Infantry

The Infantry branch is the Army’s primary ground combat force and the core of close-combat operations. Infantry officers lead soldiers who close with and destroy the enemy, seize and hold key terrain, and dominate in all environments, from urban streets to remote mountains. They plan, synchronize, and execute missions across the full range of military operations in both war and peacetime, working alongside joint and allied forces. As tactical masters, Infantry leaders train their units to move, shoot, communicate, and win under the most demanding conditions.

Military Police

The Military Police Corps protects the force by enforcing law and order, securing Army installations and supporting missions at home and overseas. Military Police officers prevent crime, conduct investigations and ensure the safety and discipline of soldiers and families on post. When deployed, they provide route and area security, manage detainees, support customs missions and strengthen force protection, helping maintain stability and uphold the rule of law.

Operations Support

Behind every successful mission stands a team that makes success possible. Operations support is the Army’s backbone, ensuring that every soldier, system, and strategy is ready for action. These professionals coordinate logistics, manage equipment, deliver intelligence, and maintain secure communications across the force.

They’re the bridge between planning and performance, making sure that troops on the front line have exactly what they need, exactly when they need it. From intelligence analysts who uncover critical enemy movements to communications specialists who keep information flowing under pressure, operations support keeps the Army one step ahead.

This is where organization meets innovation. If you’re detail-oriented, mission-driven, and thrive on making complex systems work seamlessly, operations support is your battlefield.

Military Intelligence

The Military Intelligence branch gives commanders the information they need to make quick, informed decisions. Military Intelligence officers gather, analyze and share intelligence to protect U.S. and allied forces and counter enemy threats. They identify enemy plans and capabilities and use sensors, cyber tools and human intelligence sources to gain an information advantage, helping units anticipate and outmaneuver adversaries.

Signal Corps

The Signal Corps builds, operates, and secures the Army’s communication and information networks. Signal officers ensure commanders and soldiers can communicate anytime and anywhere, whether across a tactical battlefield or through secure digital networks that connect forces around the world. They lead teams that manage satellites, tactical radios, data systems, cybersecurity, and mission-command platforms, enabling rapid, reliable, and protected information flow across all domains.

Force Sustainment

Every mission depends on momentum, and force sustainment keeps that momentum alive. This group powers the Army from within, ensuring soldiers are equipped, supplied, and ready to fight. Sustainment is the lifeline of every operation; combining logistics, transportation, human resources, and financial management to keep the force strong and mission-ready.

These professionals make the impossible possible. They move fuel, food, ammunition, and equipment across challenging terrain, manage the flow of resources in real time, and ensure every soldier is cared for, paid, and supported. Even though they often work behind the scenes, they are embedded within operational units, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with those on the front lines.

If you’re someone who thrives on problem-solving, efficiency, and impact- someone who wants to make sure the Army never stops moving- force sustainment is where you’ll lead the mission from the inside out.

Adjutant General

The Adjutant General’s (AG) Corps manages the Army’s most important resource: its people. AG officers ensure soldiers and their families receive the administrative, personnel and human-resources support they need to stay ready, resilient and mission-focused. They help commanders build and maintain effective organizations by managing personnel systems, awards and promotions, strength reporting, casualty operations and soldier services across the force.

Finance

The Finance Corps manages the Army’s financial operations to keep units ready and missions moving. Finance officers oversee purchasing, contracting support, pay operations, auditing and accounting functions that ensure soldiers and organizations receive timely financial support. They work with military and commercial banking systems, manage vendor payments and operate financial-management systems that enable commanders to resource and sustain operations around the world.

Logistics

The U.S. Army Logistics Branch is responsible for planning, coordinating, and executing the sustainment of Army forces, ensuring that they are equipped, supplied, and maintained for operations both in peacetime and during wartime. It encompasses various functions like supply, maintenance, transportation, and field services, all working together to provide the necessary support for mission accomplishment.

Medical Services

The Medical Service Corps supports the Army’s medical mission by leading and managing health care operations across the force. Medical Service Corps officers plan, direct and oversee medical logistics, administration, patient movement, health services support and medical readiness programs. They help run clinics, hospitals and field medical units, and they advise commanders on medical planning, health care delivery and force health protection from garrison to the battlefield.

Information Dominance

In today’s fast-moving world, information is as powerful as any weapon. The Army’s information dominance group leads the charge in securing, shaping, and winning the digital battlespace. These experts control the invisible domain, protecting networks, countering cyber threats, and turning streams of data into real-time tactical advantage. Their mission is about speed, precision, and outthinking the enemy before the first move is made.

This is where the Army’s high-tech warriors thrive. They combine computer science, intelligence analysis, and strategic creativity to outpace adversaries across land, sea, air, space, and cyberspace. When the Army has the information edge, it owns the fight.

Cyber

The Cyber branch conducts defensive and offensive operations in cyberspace to protect Army networks, disrupt enemy systems and defend national interests. Cyber officers lead teams that identify and counter digital threats, secure critical infrastructure and execute operations that target adversary networks and capabilities. They work across the Army and with joint and interagency partners to deliver effects in the information and cyber domains.

Component, branch and unit placement depend on eligibility, available positions, Army needs and contract terms. Part-time service includes required training and may include mobilization.

Service Obligation

Scholarship recipients incur an eight-year service obligation, with active and reserve service requirements determined by the award and signed contract. Non-scholarship contracted cadets also have service requirements. The signed contract establishes the Active Duty, USAR, ARNG and Individual Ready Reserve requirements. Initial officer training and additional obligations for certain specialties form part of the service commitment.

Scholar, Athlete, Leader (SAL)

The armed forces want individuals who are scholar-athlete-leaders (SAL) to serve as officers. They want students who have good grades, excel in sports and have served as a student or community leader.

Why?

These students show the mental and physical toughness and discipline required for leadership on the battlefield and in the boardroom.

Do you excel in everything you try? You might not have considered a life in the military. You may have your eye on climbing the business ladder, a professional sports career or a life in an elected office. The Army believes ROTC is the perfect stepping stone to a successful career in the real world.

Army ROTC is a leadership course that gives you the hands-on experience and skills that will help you succeed in your chosen career. After graduation, ROTC students are commissioned officers. You will put your leadership skills to the test every day, and when you leave the field of battle, you will be prepared for any career in the business world.

If you have the grades, the game and the guts, Embry‑Riddle's SAL program may have a place for you.

GREEN TO GOLD: ENLISTED SOLDIER SCHOLARSHIPS

As an enlisted Soldier, you have access to the Green to Gold program and scholarship opportunities to cover costs for tuition or room and board, while you earn your undergraduate or graduate degree.

CHANGE YOUR PATH. THEN, LEAD THE WAY.

If you join the Army as an enlisted Soldier and later want to commission as an Officer, the Green to Gold program can help you get there.

GO FROM SOLDIER TO ARMY OFFICER.

Green to Gold is a program designed for current active-duty enlisted Soldiers to earn a four-year bachelor’s degree or a master's degree and make the switch to the Officership path of the Army.

If you're an enlisted Soldier, Army ROTC can help you continue to grow and learn. The Army Green to Gold program provides options for Soldiers interested in pursuing a baccalaureate or graduate degree and earning a commission as an Army Officer.

OPTIONS FOR GREEN TO GOLD

Active-duty enlisted Soldiers have four options through the Green to Gold program to earn a degree while serving. Work with an ROTC recruiter to help determine which option is right for you.

OPTION 01 GREEN TO GOLD SCHOLARSHIP

Get full tuition or room and board, flat-rate book payment, and a monthly stipend if you want to leave active duty to attend college. This scholarship is awarded for two to four years depending on how many years of college you've already completed.

OPTION 02 GREEN TO GOLD ACTIVE-DUTY OPTION

If you're an eligible and enlisted Soldier, you can remain on active duty and continue to serve while you attend college and earn your commission as an Army Officer. This is a two-year program.

OPTION 03 ARMY ROTC GREEN TO GOLD DIVISION COMMANDER’S HIP POCKET SCHOLARSHIP

This selective program lets you complete your bachelor’s degree through the ROTC Scholarships program, where your chain of command can recommend you for outstanding service or exhibiting potential for the program.
