USMA Coat Of Arms and Motto
“Duty, Honor, Country,” a striking expression of West Point‟s time-honored ideals, is the motto of the
U.S. Military Academy and is imbedded in its coat of arms. Though not as old as the institution they
represent, the USMA coat of arms, also referred to as the seal, and motto have a long and interesting
history. According to archival records, the coat of arms and motto were adopted in 1898. Col. Charles W.
Larned, professor of drawing, headed a committee to design a coat of arms for the Academy and stated several
criteria for the design. The committee decided that the design should represent the national character of the
Academy, its military function, its educational function and its spirit and objectives.
Symbolism in the Coat of Arms. The committee began with the creation of an emblem that consisted of a sword, a universal symbol
of war, and the helmet of Pallas Athena. Athena, a fully armed mythological goddess, is associated with the arts of war, and her
helmet signifies wisdom and learning. The emblem is attached to a shield, bearing the arms of the United States, and on the shield‟s
crest is a bald eagle, the national symbol. The eagle‟s claws hold 13 arrows representing the 13 original states and oak and olive
branches, traditional symbols of peace.
Colonel Larned‟s committee believed Duty, Honor, Country represented simply, but eloquently, the ideals of West Point. The
committee did not express an opinion as to the relative importance of the three words; however, there is perhaps significance in the
fact that “honor” is in the center of the motto. As Maj. Gen. Bryant Moore noted in a 1951 article in Assembly magazine, “honor”
forms the keystone of the arch of the three ideals on which West Point is founded.
The coat of arms was used without change until 1923, when Capt. George Chandler, of the War Department, pointed out to
Superintendent Brig. Gen. Fred Sladen that the eagle and helmet faced to the heraldic sinister side. The helmet, eagle‟s head and
sword were soon turned to their current position. Since 1923, the coat of arms has been in regular use at West Point and is carved on
many of the older buildings. In 1980, the coat of arms was registered with the Library of Congress as an “identifiable logo” for the
Academy.
Cadet Uniform History
Since the first cadets at West Point belonged to the artillerists and engineers, they wore its uniform--a dark blue cutaway coat with
scarlet facings, brass buttons, white or blue waistcoat and tight pantaloons, black leather boots, a large cocked hat with a black
cockade and a scarlet feather. In the summer of 1814, a small American Army, led by General Winfield Scott and wearing gray,
decisively defeated the British in upper Canada. It has been said gray uniforms became badges of honor and West Point decided to
utilize the color gray in memory of Scott's victory. In 1816, the Secretary of War formally approved the use of gray uniforms for the
Military Academy. There are few uniforms the world over as renowned as "cadet gray."
Cadets at West Point spend much of their time at the Military Academy in some type of uniform or other. There is a different uniform
for just about every activity and phase of a cadet's daily program. The basic uniform is the dress gray uniform. In 1889, the gray
blouse, trimmed down the front, around the bottom and up the back with black mohair braid one inch wide, was adopted to replace the
gray shell and riding jackets. This same coat is worn today as a semi-dress uniform with either white or gray trousers. For many years
after 1889 it was the coat the cadet knew best, for he wore it to class and for most of the day.
Firstie – Black
Cow - Gray
Yearling - Yellow
The full dress coat was adopted in 1816 and has remained the same throughout the years. It is of swallow-tailed style and many of the
small details of 1816 still persist today: black silk core on the breast, cuffs and coat-tails in herringbone form and three rows of gilt
bullet buttons. This coat is made by hand in the Cadet Uniform Factory by highly skilled tailors in much the same manner as their
predecessors did a century and a half ago. The cadet white uniform has been here since 1886. White pantaloons of various cuts and
designs have been worn at the Military Academy since 1802. Authorized in 1913 and redesigned in 1959 to provide for conventional
length and single rear vent, the current white uniforms are used today primarily for social occasions during the May- September
period. At the summer Camp Buckner encampment, they are worn for Saturday inspections and parades.
A combination of both the dress gray and white uniforms, the dress gray over white uniform is a familiar sight to visitors during the
summer. It is authorized for a multitude of occasions ranging from escorting to off-post wear. It consists of the dress gray coat worn
WPPC St Louis
Page 5
06/01/2010
over the dress white trousers or skirts if women cadets prefer. Traditionally, cadets wore their dress gray uniform trousers and a gray
flannel shirt to class. In 1947 the gray flannel was replaced with a tropical worsted wool shirt. Since that time it has been worn with
the dress gray trousers as the regulation class uniform in lieu of the traditional dress gray uniform. When weather conditions
necessitate, the gray gabardine jacket, authorized in 1946, is required for class formations. In 1980, the black pullover sweater was
authorized for wear when not in formation.
The drill uniform is the same as the class uniform except that it is worn under arms. The expression "under arms" mean that the cadets
are carrying certain weapons and equipment, which may include swords and sword belts, rifles, bayonets, first aid kits and cartridge
belts. The winters are long and hard at West Point so some type of heavy overcoat is needed much of the academic year. Overcoats
were first issued to cadets in 1828; before that they wore any kind they pleased. "Such a mixture of scotch-plaid and camlet cloaks and
cloth surtouts was probably never seen elsewhere on parade," one graduate recalled. Superintendent Thayer adopted the long gray
overcoat in 1828 and it has changed only in the fact that the present overcoats are double-breasted. Women cadets have the option of
wearing high leather boots with overcoats in winter.
The long gray overcoat is a traditional part of the cadet's uniform and has been copied by military schools throughout the country. It,
like the full dress coat, is still made by hand at the Cadet Uniform Factory. A short overcoat supplements the long overcoat and is
generally prescribed for all informal occasions. First authorized in 1926 and worn until the early thirties, it was reintroduced in 1948.
Accessories worn with it are the dress cap, gray leather gloves and muffler.
Rubberized raincoats (called mackintoshes) were first introduced in 1894 to supplement the long overcoat. Worn today with a dress
cap and rubber cap cover, it still supplements the long overcoat, as well as the short one, in inclement weather. In addition to the
purely cadet uniforms, cadets also wear uniforms that are utilized Army-wide. Cadets have a uniform for physical workouts and
games called the gym uniform. It consists of black gym shorts and a gray T -shirt with running shoes.
The admittance of women to the Military Academy created the need for a uniform that was compatible with the traditional uniform
worn by male cadets yet maintained a feminine style. Most of the uniforms of women cadets include a trousers/skirt combination with
trousers worn in formation and skirts permissible for non- formation wear. The cadet at West Point is nearly always in uniform during
the academic week, and the U.S. Army sees to it that his or her uniforms are always the smartest and best uniforms that can be made.
"A uniform for every day and the pride to wear it standing tall."
Cadet Honor Code
The Cadet Honor Code states: “A cadet will not lie, cheat or steal nor tolerate those who do.” The Purpose of the Cadet Honor Code is
to foster a commitment to moral ethical excellence essential to leaders of character. The Honor Code serves as the cornerstone of the
developmental program at the Military Academy, an institution with the singular purpose of developing leaders of character.
Although the exact origin of the Honor Code is unclear, it is believed to have evolved from the code of chivalry embraced by the
officer corps when the Military Academy was established. Colonel Sylvanus Thayer, the Father of the Military Academy, and later,
General Douglas MacArthur were most instrumental in formalizing the Honor Code and System and making the Code an essential
vehicle for the development of character.
Despite the evolution of the Code over nearly two centuries, its impact has never diminished; the word of a cadet is never questioned.
The Honor Code demands and expects of all members of the Corps absolute integrity in word and deed. The sustainment of this high
standard of honor is the responsibility of each cadet – an obligation freely accepted with pride throughout the Corps.
Although the duty to uphold and enforce the Honor Code is a responsibility shared by all cadets, there is a body of cadets specifically
charged to regulate the Honor System: the Cadet Honor Committee. The Cadet Honor Committee consists of members elected from
within and representing each of the thirty- two cadet companies. The Honor Committee is charged with the proper administration and
regulation of the Honor System to include both education of the Corps and appropriate disposition of the potential Honor Code
violations.
If a cadet is suspected of violating the Cadet Honor Code, members of the Cadet Honor Committee conduct an expansive and
thorough investigation, collecting all pertinent facts surrounding the alleged violation. Included in the investigative process is the
periodic and critical review of the case by the Commandant Special Assistant for Honor Matters and the Staff Judge Advocate to
ensure that the investigation is being conducted in a fair and impartial manner.
The Commandant of Cadets is the only convening authority for an Honor Investigative Hearing. A body of eight cadets consisting of
four members of the Honor Committee and four cadets from the Corps at large, charged to examine the facts of the case and to
determine if in fact the Honor Code has been violated.
If a cadet is found to have violated the Code, the case will be forwarded to the Superintendent for final disposition. Although
separation is the normal sanction for violating the Cadet Honor Code, the Secretary of the Army has given the Superintendent the
WPPC St Louis
Page 6
06/01/2010
authority to exercise discretion and impose a sanction short of separation.
The Honor Committee, through the Company Honor Education Teams is charged to implement the Honor Education Program. This
progressive and continuous program instructs the Corps on the dynamics of the Honor system, and most importantly, on the
application of the honorable living at West Point and throughout a lifetime of service to the nation. The education program includes
formal lectures by distinguished officers and informal discussions led by cadets, as well as members of the staff and faculty.
From the first moment they enter the Academy New Cadets are expected to adhere to the same standard of honorable living as that
required of the remainder of the Corps. After only a short while at West Point, it becomes readily apparent to the New Cadets that all
members of the Corps share genuine pride in the Honor Code.
As the Academy‟s statement of purpose so clearly articulate, there exists an expectation at the Academy that West Point graduates
become leaders of character for a lifetime. Leadership is built on trust; trust is built on honor. Therefore, without character, there is
no leadership. It is for this reason that the Cadet Honor Code continues to serve as the source of pride, inspiration, and direction for
Academy graduates throughout a lifetime of service to the nation.
General Mac Arthur Speech to Cadets
“You are the leaven which binds together the entire fabric of our national system of defense. From your ranks come the great captains
who now hold the nation‟s destiny in their hands the moment the war tocsin sounds. The Long Gray Line has never failed us. Were
you to do so, a million ghosts in olive drab, in brown khaki, in blue and gray, would rise from their white crosses thundering those
magic words: Duty – Honor – Country. I listen vainly, but with thirsty ear, for the witching melody of faint bugles blowing reveille,
of far drums beating the long roll. In my dreams I hear again the crash of guns, the rattle of musketry, the strange, mournful mutter of
the battlefield. But in the evening of my memory, always I come back to West Point. Always there echoes and re-echoes
Duty – Honor – Country.
Today marks my final roll call with you, but I want you to know that when I cross the river my last conscious thought will be The
Corps – and The Corps – and The Corps.
I bid you farewell.”
Douglas Mac Arthur

Within a division, there are 3 to 5 brigades also called Brigade Combat Teams (BCT) or Stryker Brigade Combat Teams (which use
the Stryker vehicles for troop movements). Within the brigade there are 4 to 5 battalion regiments.
For example, 1st Lt Robert McCullough ‟04 was member of 2nd Battalion, 27th Infantry Regiment (or 2-27 INF Battalion also
nicknamed the Wolfhounds), 3rd Brigade Combat Team (BCT), 25th Infantry Division (ID) another example: 2nd Lt Tyler Stegemen
‟05 was a member of the 3rd Battalion, 5th Infantry Regiment (or 3-5 INF Battalion), 2nd BCT, and 1st Cavalry Division.

Featuring West Point Class tumblers and “bullet pens”:
Club Project
Made by Tervis Tumbler in the USA, guaranteed for life – with high resolution class crest in vinyl
West Point Parent's Club of St Louis mission is to support Cadets and Graduates of West Point World Wide especially
those from Missouri and Southern Illinois.
Annually we send hundreds of boxes of clothing, movies, candy and other items to our troops stationed in Iraq,
Afghanistan and elsewhere. We also send “boodle” to all active members‟ cadets at West Point and provide free
attendance to cadets at the Annual St Louis All Academies Ball in December and Hail & Farewell meeting in June.
The proceeds from this Club Project fund these endeavors including support of each class through the West Point
Association of Graduates.
