Join us in congratulating the most recent West Point graduates selected for promotion to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and Colonel in the Regular Army.
In the course of history, Army officer promotions have followed a trajectory shaped by changing societal needs and military structures. Over time, a structured hierarchy emerged, with promotions based on merit, loyalty, and strategic skill.
Throughout these changes, the core qualities of leadership—integrity, commitment, and a sense of duty—remained constant. Officer promotions reflect the enduring spirit of those who answer the call to serve and lead.
