Description

This classic episode of the U.S. Army's The Big Picture television series dramatizes the Reserve Officers' Training Corps program. Many officers come from ROTC, which is part of the curriculum in many schools and colleges throughout the country. ROTC is an integral part of college life for students like Kenneth Miller, profiled in this episode. This video from the National Archives and Records Administration follows Lieutenant Miller, a member of a team of youthful missile men, from the classroom to Army Missile Command, from Ithaca, New York, and Fort Bragg, North Carolina. ROTC's goal is clear: to give the nation an advantage of having capable military leaders for whatever eventualities may arise in the troubled world of today.
