In 1802, Congress created an act saying West Point would be a military academy. Before it was a school, however, it was a Fort. In fact, it was an important role on the Hudson River during the Revolutionary War. General Benedict Arnold tried to surrender the fort to the British but was discovered and he fled to the British. The fort was eventually saved by Anthony Wayne. Henry Knox had the belief that West Point should become a training academy for future army officers, with the support of Alexander Hamilton and George Washington. It wasn’t until 1802 that West Point was classified as an academy. At first, the academy was seen as a weak, unorganized, and undisciplined school that was too far north to be unbiased. Then Sylvanus Thayer put in different policies and made the

West Point was the location of a Revolutionary-era fort built to protect the Hudson River Valley from British attack. General George Washington considered West Point to be the most important tactical position in America. Whoever had control of the Hudson River would be able to win the Revolutionary War. Washington personally selected Thaddeus Kosciuszko, one of the many heroes of Saratoga, to design the rampart for West Point in 1778. A year later Washington transferred his headquarters to West Point. In 1780, Patriot General Benedict Arnold, the commander of the fort, agreed to surrender West Point to the British in exchange for money. However, the plan was exposed before it he was able to give it to Britian. Arnold fled to the British for

Cadet PO3 Scott has repeated minor offenses, to which he has received report chits. He has recently added another, more serious transgression to his record. He has shown that he does not honor NJROTC and is not committed to the unit. The NJROTC program carries itself with a set of rules and this cadet has shown that he does not respect them.

The Long Gray Line from West Point has done more than serve as college educated workers in America’s workforce and officers in the United States Military. The men and women who have attended the United States Military Academy have shaped and led our nation throughout its history, and I want to be a part of the next chapter. I want to give all that I can and more to the academy and afterwards to the Army. West Point is, without a doubt, the place where I belong.

West Point is important to the Hudson Valley because it trains cadets for the Army. It dates all the way back to the Revolutionary Way. West Point first opened on March 16, 1802. Which makes it the oldest of the five federal service academies. Since it is the oldest that means that they are

I want to attend the USMA because I want to leave a legacy. I want to lead others, the future soldiers of the Army, and I want to give back what I have learned. Legacy is not limited to age or time served. It is defined by how hard you worked and how you take your obtained wisdom to make more leaders, contributions, and improvements for the better. I know that the USMA is not a factory that makes leaders as if it were a Build-A-Bear Workshop. However, I do believe that the USMA provides many opportunities and challenges for personal growth and personal achievement. And personally, I love

General George Washington, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America, the Continental Army commander, and later the first president of the United States of America during the American Revolution declared West Point, as “the most important military position in America”[i]. West Point is located in New York, along the Hudson River and 50miles from New York City. West Point was a very strategic point during the American Revolution, due to its location near the Hudson River and its geographical conditions for its defense, which therefore was caused the Continental Army to fortify its defense there. Thus afterwards a military academy was founded at West Point, in which played

I attend a military school and i have been a part of many leadership roles at Fork union Military Academy. One of my unique experiences was when we were drilling my company to prepare for a parade. I am a day student which places us in our own platoon. In my day student platoon there were no cadets with rank at the time which means we had no particular leader. This was the perfect opportunity for me to take charge and become the temporary leader for the drill. I had no real experience with drilling besides the steps i have learned while being at FUMA for 2 years at that time. . I drilled the cadets in front of the 120 cadets in my company. I did particularly well besides one mistake on a facing movement. Taking this leadership role earned me

Before the Military Academy was there, West Point was known as Fort Arnold. Getting its namesake from Benedict Arnold, before changing its name to Fort Clinton.

The Oregon National Guard in the last three years has gone through great changes that have challenged the senior leaders throughout the organization. These changes started with the retirement of The Adjutant General (TAG), Major General Raymond F. Rees, who has run our organization for four terms since 1987. MG Rees did not just command the Oregon National Guard for the past twenty-nine years; he created the culture of the organization and his vision carried the ORNG through numerous mobilizations in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation Enduring Freedom. Famous for his pointy finger, no one ever wanted to be in the general direction of his pointy finger, and if you were, you knew he did not agree with your thinking, or your

As a student of the Leading Teams in Organizations class at Lipscomb University, I’m required to answer questions regarding the Harvard Business School Case titled “The Army Crew Team”. The case write-up describes a coach’s dilemma regarding an underperforming Varsity Crew team. The Varsity team is consistently losing to the Junior Varsity (JV) team forcing its coach to consider taking drastic actions four days before the National championship. The coach is considering the following three options: switching the Varsity and JV teams, switching individual boat members, or intervening to improve the Varsity team’s performance (Snook & Polzer, 2004). The coach should switch the Varsity and JV teams and

Lifetime Athletics is introducing outdoor Military style boot camps at the Promenade park. The boot camps will be a separate entity of Lifetime Athletics and therefore will not be included into the existing Lifetime Athletics gym membership packages. Since no other organization has ever introduced outdoor boot camps in Mississauga, therefore a thorough marketing analysis is required to determine if the boot camps will be a success at this market.
