As the keynote speaker of the U.S. Military Academy’s Diversity and Inclusion Conference, retired Gen. Vincent Brooks, USMA Class of 1980, had a simple message. When you are included, it is not enough to take your seat at the table and be happy to be there. It is what you do once you are given a seat that really matters. “When you have decided to stand up and step up, once you’re inside and included, you must speak up,” Brooks said. “You have to make sure that the perspective that you bring, that unique perspective, is part of the mix. Sometimes that takes a lot of moral courage to do that because often you feel so honored even to be in the room that you don’t want to put that at risk where you would now be excluded from the room.” He called on those gathered to, “Stand up, step up, speak up and build-up.” To offer their unique experiences to the discussion and not be afraid of voicing their opinion. His call to action wasn’t limited to those who were given a seat at the table, though. He also implored leaders who are sitting at the head of the table and leading the discussion to actively seek out the minority opinion. If there is someone who is not speaking up, ask what he or she thinks, Brooks said. If you (Above and below) Gen.

No matter whether they graduate from the U.S. Military Academy or an ROTC program, junior officers will be expected to quickly step into leadership roles in the Army and be ready to lead Soldiers into combat. To help prepare future officers to take on that responsibility, West Point hosted Honorable Leadership Week Sept. 15-21. From start to finish, the week was full of activities including the annual Branch Week, where the Army’s 17 branches set up static displays to introduce cadets to their postgraduation career opportunities, and the 17th annual Diversity and Inclusion Conference. While the events were primarily held to develop and inspire West Point cadets, the academy also invited ROTC cadets to take part in activities throughout the week. During Branch Week, cadets from the Fordham University and Rutgers University ROTC programs had the chance to visit West Point, tour the displays and talk to representatives from each of the Army branches. Coming from ROTC programs where their contact with the Army is mostly limited to the members of the cadre leading their program, it was the first chance for many of the cadets to ask in depth questions about branches not represented in their schools’ programs. “None of our cadre were ADA (Air Defense Artillery). We only had one FA (Field Artillery) officer,” Cadet Alan Zhang, a member of the Fordham ROTC program and a student at New York University, said. “It’s very interesting because we get to learn a lot about branches that we otherwise would not have really learned about other than what’s available online. That’s nowhere near as comprehensive as talking to actual lower enlisted, senior enlisted and officers here. It’s an amazing resource and I’m having a good time.” West Point cadets are given the annual opportunity to go through Branch Week and ask questions of the branches they are interested in, but for the ROTC cadets, their visit may have been their only opportunity to see all 17 branches in one place. They had limited time, but for cadets like Zhang, who has to finalize his branch preferences next year, even those few hours provided to walk through the displays had a tremendous impact. Cadets from the Fordham University ROTC program walk through the branch static displays during Branch “Honestly, this has made a huge difference being able to talk Week at the U.S. Military Academy. ROTC programs from throughout the region had the chance to learn to actual officers fresh out of BOLC (Basic Officer Leadership about all 17 Army branches while touring the branches' displays at West Point.

The Class of 2019 honored former head wrestling coach Lloyd Appleton, cross country and track and field standout Mike Bernstein, gymnastics star Carl Brunson, track and field great Dennis Trujillo and two-sport standout Mortimore (Bud) Sprague. In addition to honoring the new members of the Hall of Fame, the Honorable Samuel Lessey Jr. was given the distinguished service award and he became the ninth honoree of the award since 2006 and first since 2014. One of the top honors bestowed by the Army West Point Athletic Association, the Distinguished Service Award is presented to an individual for significant contributions to the intercollegiate program. It is not presented annually, but only in years when the athletic department identifies a deserving recipient. He joins Jack Hammack, Morris Herbert, Herb Lichtenberg, Lou Gross, Lew Zickel, Gus Fishburne, Carl Goldstein and Bob Outer as recipients of the award.

The purpose of the West Point Leader Development System is to develop leaders of character who live honorably, lead honorably and demonstrate excellence. This system is both general and tailored. For example, all cadets have to pass PL100 (General Psychology for Leaders), and all cadets have to participate in an Individual Advanced Development experience. However, the choice of those experiences is up to the cadets. For 17 cadets this summer, the choice of Academic IAD was taking a course with the FBI. The course included many scenarios for the cadets to contemplate. • A Soldier in your unit locks himself in a room with members of the unit and holds them hostage; • You’re in a supermarket when you hear a loud argument between a man and a woman. He takes out a knife from his pocket, grabs the woman from behind, and threatens to kill her unless everyone backs away and lets them leave; • A delivery man drops his packages on the ground, pulls out a pistol, holds it to his head, starts crying and bids everyone farewell. What do you do? For the week of Aug. 5-9, cadets and a number of NYPD officers faced questions such as these at the FBI Crisis Negotiation Course AIAD. Unlike other AIADs, this one involved no travel as the course took place in Thayer Hall. But, at the end, the cadets received certificates of completion. These certificates are professionally recognized as the NYPD and other police departments throughout the United States pay for their officers to receive and utilize this training. Army CID had trainees in attendance as well.
