The Washington FPC Defense Liaison Officer led a three-day foreign media tour to the United States Military Academy at West Point. Reporters received briefings on the academic, military, physical and moral/ethical programs at the academy; learned about the history and traditions of the academy; had a round-table discussion with the academy's President; and spent a full day interacting with the cadets - including foreign cadets from the countries represented on the tour.
