National Archives and Records Administration ARC Identifier 2569659 / Local Identifier 111-TV-391 Big Picture: Graduate: Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) DVD Copied by Katie Filbert - Department of Defense. Department of the Army. Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations. U.S. Army Audiovisual Center. (ca. 1974 - 05/15/1984). The Reserve Officers' Training Corps program dramatized on Army's "THE BIG PICTURE" -- How the United States finds and trains men of leadership ability on whom the nation can depend in time of mobilization is the subject for this THE BIG PICTURE film presentation. As explained in narration form, many of the officers come from ROTC--which is part of the curriculum of many schools and colleges throughout the country. ROTC is an integral part of college life for many students like "Hank" Miller, Cornell '54, about whom this picture has been written. Skillfully photographed on the campus of Cornell University and on the training field at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina, "Graduate--ROTC" is a very sincere treatment of a subject that otherwise might become dull on motion picture film. It moves from classroom to football field, from parade ground to an Army Missile Command. Lieutenant Henry "Hank" Miller is shown as a member of a team of youthful missile men whose mission is the defense of the United States. His role is one that calls for active leadership that began with training several years ago when he was a freshman student at Cornell University. Without over-emphasizing the mission of ROTC, the viewer is left with a very clear-cut impression that without men trained like Lt. Miller, this nation would lose an advantage impossible to measure -- that of having capable military leaders for whatever eventualities may arise in the troubled world of today.
