MACARTHUR Act

The MACARTHUR Act (HR 700) requires the U.S. Military Academy to add the phrase "Duty, Honor, Country" to its official mission statement within 30 days of the bill's enactment. This change directly affects the U.S. Military Academy, mandating a formal update to its foundational statement by the Secretary of the Army. The bill reinforces Congress's view that these principles should be central to the academy's ethos and instilled in all cadets. The mechanism is a straightforward amendment to the academy's existing mission statement, with no additional program changes or funding impacts.
