The Regular Officer Training Plan – Enhanced Pathway (ROTP-EP)
The new program is already underway. Classes started in September. It is in essence an enhanced version of the long-standing ROTP (CivU) model with which e-Veritas readers are likely familiar. Candidates are enrolled in the ROTP and attend civilian university to obtain their undergraduate degree over four years, doing military training during their summers. A similar civilian university pathway exists for the University Training Plan for Non-Commissioned Members (UTPNCM). The difference between the classic ROTP/UTPNCM-CivU model and the new RRU program is how the Naval and Officer Cadets (N/OCdts) are supported during the academic year.Â
