This past fall Principal Cyber Advisor to the Secretary of the Army Brandon Pugh visited the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York, to learn how the academy is strengthening the Army’s ability to innovate, solve problems and prepare leaders for the future fight in cyberspace.
The visit emphasized the academy’s role as more than a commissioning source — it is increasingly serving as what leaders call the Army’s “problem-solving machine,” where cadet education, faculty expertise and applied research converge to address the Army’s toughest challenges.
