FORT KNOX, Ky. (NBC 26) — The U.S. Army is cutting its Reserve Officers’ Training Corps Programs, better known as ROTC, to multiple universities across the country, and multiple Northeast Wisconsin colleges will be impacted.

Through the Department of Defense’s Deferred Resignation Program, the U.S. Army’s Cadet Command, which runs ROTC, lost 168 positions — or about 12 percent — in its civilian workforce.

“These reductions prompted a reassessment of the ROTC footprint to ensure continued mission success while operating with fewer civilian personnel,” the U.S. Army said in a news release.

The ROTC program at UW-Oshkosh will be ending, and the program at UW-Stevens Point will be reclassifying as an extension unit.
