The United States Military Academy Strategic Plan, 2015-2021, provides strategic guidance for the Academy to accomplish its mission: 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.
