Etymology
ROTC stands for Reserve Officers' Training Corps, which is a college program to train students to become military 'officers' and to build a 'reserve' of leaders. The word Corps means 'group', as in the 'Peace Corps', and 'training' shows it is about learning skills, so ROTC prepares students to lead in the armed forces.
