Cold War memory is punctuated with many memorable events such as the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Vietnam War, and President Nixon’s decision to escalate the Vietnam War by authorizing military incursions into Cambodia and Laos. Due to the negativity of these events, the Cold War has traditionally been associated with the expansion of the American military industrial complex. This has led to the obfuscation of numerous other historical events that occurred during the Cold War. Therefore, this paper attempts to illuminate a tiny segment of forgotten Cold War history by examining the California Polytechnic State University’s Reserve Officers’ Training Corp (ROTC) from 1953 to 1957. Based on the available evidence from the El Mustang, this paper discovered that the Cal Poly ROTC actively protected Cal Poly students from mandatory military service and served as the university’s representative to the collegiate, student, and local communities.
