Recommendations
Recommendations for Executive Action
| Agency Affected | Recommendation | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Department of the Army | The Secretary of the Army should direct that a broad-based assessment be made of ROTC restructuring to include readiness, housing, and cost issues to accommodate the long-term needs of ROTC within the context of the Army's total base structure. |
Closed – Implemented
The Cadet Command at the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command has completed its long-range broad-based study of ROTC restructuring. The study recommended having a single advanced camp at Fort Lewis, Washington for the foreseeable future. The Army has decided that its advanced camp will remain at Fort Lewis for the foreseeable future and is considering converting excess buildings for this use rather than building new facilities.
