Forge Week isn’t just about grit. It’s about growth.
“Things don’t get easier; you get better, and that’s the point.”
-Cadet Farris, regimental commander, Fall 2026, during his address to new cadets last night.

- No ambiguity. No shortcuts. On this first day of Cadre Week, our regimental commander laid out expectations for cadet training with a focus on readiness, professionalism, and leadership. Train hard. Lead well. Raise the bar. #PreparedToLead #TrustedToServe #SeniorMilitaryCollege
