What are some advantages of being in the ROTC stationed in the Philippines?

Answer 1

im sorry if this is not helpful Organizational & Command Structure The UP Manila ROTC Unit is an organization that actually has two faces: a military organization and an academic unit. It is, in itself, a military unit under the National Capital Region Regional Community Defense Group (NCRRCDG), while it is an academic unit within the UP Manila community, a special unit reporting directly to the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs (not passing through college-level units). Because of this, the ROTC unit has dual set of responsibilities - as a military training unit which trains cadets and trainees for the reserve force, and as a department of the University which teaches students. While this maybe the same (since the cadets are the students), the very concept of two "masters" sometimes makes reporting and functioning of responsibilities challenging if not outright conflicting. There are three main levels in the chain of command in ROTC. These are the following: * Headquarters or University Level - This is the level that is immediately above the ROTC Unit or the DMST. On these level are the NCR RCDG and UP Manila Administration. * Unit Level - This is the level of the ROTC Unit or the DMST. * Corps Level - This level is the level of the Corps of Cadets and Sponsors. The main organizational units in defining the organization and chain of command of the ROTC unit are the following: * UP Manila Administration (via Office of Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, or OVCAA) * NCR RCDG (through 1302nd Community Defense Center) * DMST, or the ROTC unit itself * The Tactics Group * The Corps of Cadets and Corps of Sponsors The Department of the Military Science and Tactics - the University unit which administers the ROTC program in the University - is a special unit that reports directly to the Chancellor through the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs. Unlike any regular department, the DMST is not under any college-level unit (e.g., the Department of Physical Education is under the College of Arts and Sciences). Part of the reason is that its student base is from all colleges. Another reason is for its special needs and functions in carrying out its University- and Army-laden responsibilities. Like any unit of the University, the DMST/ROTC has the following broad responsibilities: * Teaching * Research * Extension Services
