<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The need for officers will always be there. The size of the Army depends on how many Soldiers are in. The force grows and contracts due to wars, budgets, etc.

Formed in June 1916 by the National Defense Act, the Officers&#39; Reserve Corps (ORC) was originally intended to supply the U.S. armed forces with civilian volunteers who were educated in military leadership and tactics.

The size of our military is based on our strategy, which is currently to have a large enough army to fight a two front war. For us, that&#39;s about a half million active duty army. Don&#39;t expect any major changes to that number in the next decade or so unless there&#39;s is a massive new threat
