Simultaneous Membership Program (SMP)

The Simultaneous Membership Program allows a student to attend Army ROTC and serve in the U.S. Army Reserve or Army National Guard at the same time. The SMP Program offers additional training and leadership experience - and an additional paycheck. Cadets serve as officer trainees earning E-5 pay for drill weekends and annual training.
