For the Class of 2027, Affirmation marks a major milestone in their West Point journey. During this ceremony, each Cow (junior) formally commits to completing their final two years at the Academy with the intention of graduating, commissioning, and serving as officers in the United States Army. This moment is both symbolic and binding—it reflects their dedication to the ideals of Duty, Honor, Country, and their readiness to take on the responsibilities of military leadership. Affirmation is a proud and defining step on the road from cadet to officer.

This event is not open to parents.
