The congressional representatives were invited by Rep. Steve Womack, the chair of the Board of Visitors, to tour West Point’s training facilities and learn more about how the academy is working to prepare Soldiers to lead in future combat. “I think the least we should be able to do is ensure that the training environment they have and the resources they have with which to train our future Army leaders, young men and women from our own respective districts, are the very best we can provide,” Womack said. “I think just one quick glance around Camp Buckner, it doesn’t take you very long to figure out we can do better than this.” During their visit, the delegates had the chance to tour the training areas at Camp USMA Superintendent Lt.

Dustin Lawrence Attack Company Commander, Task Force 1-28 Infantry Cresting Cranberry Hill would have been a dangerous venture midway through June this year. Direct and indirect fires crescendoed at the base of the well-known West Point land mass before an audience of West Point cadets at an observation point. The second annual Cadet Summer Training Combined Arms Live-Fire Exercise (CALFEX) displayed not only the capabilities of multiple air and ground assets—but also ability to synchronize across branches and services. The task of conducting a CALFEX is an arduous and meticulous task. Coordination usually occurs at high echelons, between branches and services by multiple military occupation specialties. The coordination for this year’s CALFEX occurred between empowered leaders of two elements—West Point and Task Force 1-28 Infantry. Task Force 1-28 brings a lot of combat power to bear. As the Army’s only organic light infantry task force, an artillery battery, engineer company, geo-intelligence cell, air defense artillery management (ADAM) and brigade aviation element (BAE) are structured alongside three infantry companies, a heavy weapons company and a field support company. The Task Force is unique in this regard. As a light infantry company commander, I can walk across the street to directly coordinate training with a battery commander or engineer commander. We essentially are the perfect element to conduct combined arms training. However, there is no online ordering process to get an A-10 Thunderbolt II, no app 3rd Infantry Division mortarmen participate in a combined-arms live-fire exercise (CALFEX) at West Point June to request AH-64 Apaches.

  • Policy Proposal: an Anti-Racist West Point
    June 25th, 2020 POLICY PROPOSAL: AN ANTI-RACIST WEST POINT To West Point leadership, the Long Gray Line, and the citizens we serve to protect: This is a call to action. The United States Military Academy has not taken the necessary strides towards uprooting the racism that saturates its history. We are calling upon West Point and its leadership to redress three major failures: 1. Systemic racism continues to exist at West Point. 2. Anti-racism is not part of the curriculum at West Point. 3. The conditions for an anti-racist space are not present at West Point. By failing in these areas, West Point ultimately fails to produce leaders of character equipped to lead diverse organizations. In other words, West Point is failing to accomplish its mission. We believe West Point has an opportunity to lead the way for the military and the Nation by proving its aims towards “eradicating racism,” as the Superintendent wrote to the West Point community on June 4th, 2020. This can be accomplished by committing to measurable, anti-racist policies and systems which would address these overarching failures. This policy proposal is a compilation of firsthand experiences and calls to action from members of the Long Gray Line, highlighting the necessary action steps for fighting racism and normalizing anti- racism at the Academy. We encourage you to read this proposal in its entirety in order to understand the prevalence of racism at the Academy and our vision for its elimination. Though we are deeply disturbed, we hold fast to the hope that our Alma Mater will take the necessary steps to champion the values it espouses.
