No. Once you are contracted with ROTC, you cannot be deployed until after you have graduated and received your commission.
ROTC allows many students to receive education for free in exchange for service to their country. There are many active duty officers that were trained through the programs. ROTC allows a reserve force of officers in case of a war. ROTC makes a bond between rich students at prestigious universities, and allows them to serve in the military without losing on their education.
Students who are contracted ROTC cadets pay for very little in college. A full ROTC scholarship includes: tuition and fees, $600/ semester for books, and a monthly spending stipend of $300-$500 a month. Also, ROTC classes are available to all college students for free and no military obligation.

JROTC was invented for high school students to see if there would be a better motivation to join the military, and if the students would want to further into the rotc in college to become officers.
The difference between NSTP and ROTC is that ROTC is designed to provide military training to tertiary level students. NSTP is program aimed at enhancing civic consciousness and defense preparedness in the youth.
The ROTC is an organization that allows students to participate in military groups while they are still in high school and college. High school students who have been active in the ROTC can qualify for scholarships that will cover their college costs while they continue to provide active ROTC service. There are scholarships available from the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine branches of the ROTC. High School ROTC Involvement ROTC scholarships are available to high school students who have shown excellence in service while they participated in their local high school ROTC chapters. These students must complete a certain number of service hours, have a high grade point average, and complete a scholarship application with an accompanying essay. The ROTC will subsidize a student’s college education if that student agrees to remain an active member of the ROTC while attending college. Working with the ROTC While in College College ROTC groups are more intense than their high school counterparts. Since students live on campus and have less structured schedules, the ROTC participates in a larger number of activities. Many students will spend their weekends working with the local National Guard troops and learning about the military while they spend their weekdays completing their civilian studies. An ROTC scholarship is meant to give students the opportunity to learn leadership and organizational skills through college classes while they continue to work closely with their military outfits. After Graduation College graduates who attended school on ROTC scholarships are immediately mustered into the service branch of their choice with an officer’s ranking. ROTC scholarships prepare students for careers that will begin as active duty officers in their chosen branch of the military. If someone completes college through an ROTC scholarship, he or she is allowed to skip the officer training that they would have had to attend otherwise. Attending school on an ROTC scholarship requires that you promise to serve in the military for a specific number of years after graduation, which means that you will have a job as soon as you leave college. The training you receive in the military will prepare you for a number of career opportunities after you finish your tour of duty.
ROTC buildings were located on campus, and were often burned. Students who failed to maintain a 2.0 average faced military conscription. Result: Protests and riots.
no; all mandatory ROTC would do is lead to more corruption as students who could afford to would buy their way out of ROTC. and also lead to increased drop out rate as other students could not afford the expenses associated with ROTC. longer term it would cause more middle class families to emigrate, as attending college would now come with the risk of inducted into the military, a very real risk given the GMA administrations pro-war policies. and if she gets away with this her next move might be general conscription, as she mentioned "a citizen army" in one of her speeches
Burnig ROTC buildings.
ROTC or Reserve Officer Training Corps is a military program to enable college students to complete basic officer training in exchange for money for education. After graduation from college, the young man or woman has a modest military commitment, typically about 6 years of reserve duty. Reserve officers can be assigned to active duty if they are needed by the military, and the officers have very little choice in the matter. Reserve officers have little or no role in policy making within the military. The military has very little role in determining whether the United States engages in a war. Therefore, the short answer is NO. ROTC does not cause or start wars. ROTC-trained people may be called upon to serve in wars, but they definitely do not start wars.
I'm afraid that there don't seem to be any ROTC programs available in Dallas. You can opt for it as an elective in the Dallas County Community College though.
