This book was released on 2020-06-15 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: West Point graduates played a central role in developing U.S. military air and space power from the earliest days of mechanized flight through the establishment of the U.S. Air Force in 1947, and continuing through the Persian Gulf War. These graduates served at a time when the world's greatest wave of technological advancement occurred: in aviation, nuclear weapons, rocketry, ICBMs, computers, satellite systems in inner space and man in outer space. This history traces the advancement of weapons and space technology that became the hallmark of the U.S. Air Force, and the pivotal role that West Point graduates played in integrating them into a wide variety of Air Force systems and programs. Many became aircraft commanders, test pilots, astronauts and, later in their careers, general officers who helped shape and implement technologies still in use today.

Book excerpt: The service academies are chartered to train and educate the next generation of military leadership for America's armed forces and federal service. Candidates are appointed to the service academies without regard to race, creed, or national origin. Candidates must be citizens of the United States; of good moral character; at least seventeen years old and not have passed their 22nd birthday (Air Force Academy, West Point, and Coast Guard), the 23rd birthday (Naval Academy), the 25th birthday (Merchant Marine Academy) on the first day of July of the year that they enter the academy. Candidates must be unmarried; not pregnant; and must have no dependents. Cadets and midshipmen in their Freshman and Sophomore years cannot own or maintain a motor vehicle. In order to gain admission to a service academy, the high school student must meet extremely rigorous standards of performance. Candidates must apply to the service academy office of admissions just like they would apply to a civilian school. Additionally, candidates must obtain a nomination from an elected official or other nomination source. The application and nomination process should begin at least one year prior to the desired date of entry. Each of the academies offers it cadets and midshipmen a superior academic education. Graduates earn a four-year accredited Bachelor of Science Degree in a wide range of academic majors. Tuition, books, room, board, medical, and dental benefits are fully covered and valued at more than $400,000.00 over four years. Cadets and midshipmen also earn a small stipend (about $500.00 per month) to cover minor expenses. Each academy offers some of the finest intercollegiate and intramural programs in the nation. Also, the academies offer a wide variety of facilities that include premier golf courses, Olympic swimming pools, ice rinks, and for the shore-based academies: crew and sailing. Service academy graduates are commissioned in all branches of the armed forces. Merchant Marine Academy graduates sail with the U.S. Merchant Fleet, are commissioned in all branches of the armed forces, or are commissioned in the U.S. Naval Reserve. Coast Guard Academy graduates served as commissioned officers in the U.S. Coast Guard. New graduates served their country as commissioned officers that lead others. Academy graduates also fly high performance jet aircraft, command nuclear submarines, sail on technologically-advanced ships, and command troops in the field. Academy graduates defend America and our way of life. Service academy graduates are required to complete an active duty service commitment that consists of a minimum of five years of commissioned service. Some graduates elect to attend advanced military schooling following graduation in exchange for a longer term of service. Merchant Marine Academy graduates are commissioned in all the branches of the armed forces. Coast Guard Academy graduates serve in the U.S. Coast Guard.

Download or read book Strength and Drive written by Robert A. Doughty and published by Author House. This book was released on 2014-12-18 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Class of 1965 entered the Military Academy in July 1961. As cadets, they received a traditional West Point education but also studied new fields such as computers and nuclear physics. Upon graduation, members of the class received numerous national scholarships, including one Rhodes scholarship. During the Vietnam War members of the class received no less than one Medal of Honor, four Distinguished Service Crosses, one Air Force Cross, 94 Silver Stars, 5 Soldier's Medals, 175 Bronze Stars with V device for valor, and 129 Purple Hearts. In later years, members of the class served with distinction in Grenada, Panama, Iraq, and elsewhere. They became leaders in transforming the army after the Cold War into a much leaner, more agile, technologically advanced force. Those who left the service, whether after four years in uniform or more, contributed to the nation in a similarly impressive manner. As civilians they excelled in numerous fields and exhibited as much patriotism and "Strength and Drive" as those still in uniform. Whether in uniform or not, members of the class of 1965 served their communities and nation and never lost sight of the meaning of West Point's motto: "Duty, Honor, Country."

Book excerpt: An outstanding new military history of the first half of World War II, featuring a rich array of images, exclusive graphics, superb new maps, and expert analysis commissioned by the United States Military Academy to teach the art of war to West Point cadets. Since 1836, United States Military Academy texts have been the gold standard for teaching military history and the operational art of war. Now the USMA has developed a new military history series for the public featuring the story of World War II in two volumes, of which this is the first. The West Point History of World War II combines the expertise of preeminent historians with hundreds of maps and images, many created for this volume or selected from Army collections. The first volume offers a balanced narrative analyzing the rising tide of Axis conquest from 1939 to mid-1942, ranging from battlefield decisions to operational and strategic plans, all set in their proper political context. The closing chapter provides a thematic treatment of the mobilization of the warring nations’ economies and home fronts for the conduct of total war. The West Point History of World War II has been tested, checked, and polished by West Point cadets, faculty, and graduates to make this the best military history of its kind.
