Ten universities will drop an existing Army ROTC unit, and another 46 programs will reduce on-campus resources and staff. The changes are set to occur in the summer of 2026 and will not affect those entering their senior year in a program.
“This rebalance and optimization effort ensures we meet the Army’s requirements for officer commissioning while being good stewards of resources,” said Brig. Gen. Maurice Barnett, commander of Army Cadet Command. “Our approach allows us to sustain and strengthen ROTC programs while providing quality training to cadets across the country.”

The changes were sparked by the federal government’s deferred resignation program, which has allowed some federal employees to leave their jobs in government and continue to receive pay through September. In the Cadet Command, which oversees Army ROTC, 168 civilian workers resigned, which cut about 12% of its workforce, the service said.
