Mission Statement
"To educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets so that each graduate is a commissioned leader of character committed to the values of Duty, Honor, Country and prepared for a career of professional excellence and service to the Nation as an officer in the United States Army."
History
"West Point's role in our nation's history dates back to the Revolutionary War, when both sides realized the strategic importance of the commanding plateau on the west bank of the Hudson River. General George Washington considered West Point to be the most important strategic position in America. Washington personally selected Thaddeus Kosciuszko, one of the heroes of Saratoga, to design the fortifications for West Point in 1778, and Washington transferred his headquarters to West Point in 1779. Continental soldiers built forts, batteries and redoubts and extended a 150-ton iron chain across the Hudson to control river traffic. After gaining experience and national recognition during the Mexican and Indian wars, West Point graduates dominated the highest ranks on both sides during the Civil War. Academy graduates, headed by generals such as Grant, Lee, Sherman and Jackson, set high standards of military leadership for both the North and South.
How Officer Training is beneficial to War of Rights
Whenever a soldier starts his own company or is recruited into his or her own company, in some cases they have no military background or its limited. What this aims to do is have real leaders in charge of the soldiers who will interacting on the forums and in game. Properly trained leaders who will demand nothing but the best out of their men by way of example and character. There are a few modules/posts that will contain informationals on topics such as CUSTOMS AND COURTESIES, MILITARY HISTORY, DRILL, and COMBAT TACTICS. There will also be a link to an OPTIONAL test that will have a few variations. Upon completion of this test the cadet will receive a special badge for optional use on the forum.
(The optional test has not yet been uploaded)
ALL TRAINING WILL BE SELF DRIVEN BUT THERE WILL BE A SECTION FOR QUESTIONS
Send your officers over to if there is information there you feel will be beneficial, this is 100% voluntary obviously:
