I've heard a lot about West Point Academy and I know it's military-related. However, I am not sure about what branch of the military it is tied to. Can anyone help me out here?
West Point, officially known as the United States Military Academy (USMA), is directly connected to the United States Army. Considered one of the top military academies in the nation, West Point produces commissioned officers for the US Army. Upon graduation, cadets receive a Bachelor of Science degree and are commissioned as second lieutenants in the US Army. They then serve on active duty for a minimum of five years.
