Our mission is "to build, educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets to be commissioned leaders of character committed to the Army values and ready for a lifetime of service to the Army and nation." Through this mission, we are charged with forging and developing the next generation of officers to lead the United States Army’s greatest strength and most important weapon system - its soldiers - to fight and win on the 21st-century battlefield. Superintendent's Open Door PolicyThe Superintendent’s Open Door Policy ensures permanent party personnel, cadets, cadet candidates, and family members can raise concerns that cannot be resolved through the chain of command or supervisory chain. While the chain of command and supervisory chain remain the primary means for addressing issues, the Superintendent is available to discuss matters requiring personal attention.
