High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Officer Training Corps (OTC) is a part of the British Army which provides military leadership training to students at UK universities. The name Officer Training Corps is misleading in that its mission is not the training of commissioned officers; only a minority of OTC members go on to further train, and subsequently, commission as officers in the Regular or Territorial Army. However, in recent years there has been a greater effort at OTC`s to raise awareness of the career opportunities within the Regular or Territorial Army (although the mission statement (see below) has not changed). It is similar in some ways to the United States Army Reserve Officers` Training Corps; however, a fundamental difference in that ROTCs are actually Officer Training Establishments and thus have a rather different ethos and work ethic, the UK Ministry of Defence marketed the OTC as "a University/ College club with a great and varied social life" with "...some of the cheapest drink on campus.".
