Reserve Officers' Training Corps (Taiwan)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Reserve Officers' Training Corps (Chinese: 大學儲備軍官訓練團) in the Republic of China (Taiwan) was first proposed by the Ministry of National Defense for the ROC Armed Forces in September 1995[1] and has been in operation since 1997[2] or 1999.[3] Other sources mention that an ROTC program was already active in Taiwan in the 1960s.[4][5] ROTC in Taiwan is based on the counterpart program of the United States Armed Forces.[1][3] The proposed training regimen consisted of three to four additional hours of military courses each week aside from university classes. During the winter vacation, students were to attend a one or two-week boot camp and in the summer, they would undergo six weeks of military training.[1]
