Bill > S215

This bill, known as the Maintaining Academy Culture and Assuring Retention of Tradition, Honor, and Unity of the Republic (MACARTHUR) Act, aims to formally incorporate the phrase "Duty, Honor, Country" into the mission statement of the United States Military Academy (West Point). The bill expresses the sense of Congress that these principles should be deeply embedded in the academy's ethos and instilled in each cadet. Specifically, it requires the Secretary of the Army to amend the academy's mission statement within 30 days of the act's enactment to include the iconic phrase "Duty, Honor, Country," which is famously associated with General Douglas MacArthur and has long been a core sentiment in military leadership. The bill seeks to reinforce the traditional values and cultural heritage of the military academy by explicitly enshrining this philosophical foundation in its official mission statement.
