The Honor to Command – Army Leadership Battle Ride

The United States Army defines leadership as “the process of influencing people by providing purpose, direction, and motivation while operating to accomplish the mission and improve the organization.” There is little doubt that this skillset was in dire need in the early days of the American Revolution. George Washington remains one the first and most iconic leaders in United States history. Because of his victories, and despite his defeats, our country was able to gain its independence.

The Army Historical Foundation’s latest fall program “The Honor to Command: Army Leadership Battle Ride,” explores the leadership of George Washington, his officers, and his adversaries during a critical point in the American Revolution, as well as the institution created to forge the next generation of leaders, The United States Military Academy at West Point.
