Superintendent's Notes

"It has been a superb summer of tough and rigorous field training, of cadet troop leader training with our US Army here and overseas, and of cultural immersion and internship programs across the globe. The goal? Leadership development of the United States Corps of Cadets to build the leaders of character who will serve as officers for our Army. Cadet Field Training at Camp Buckner and the adjacent areas of USMA tested our Yearlings every day. They never flinched and they all grew stronger."
