Outstanding Alum Program

2022 Outstanding Alums

Inaugurated in 1996 by the Alumni Association, the Outstanding Alum Program recognizes excellence in community service by USAWC graduates after their retirement from government service.  Any current Army War College Foundation member in good standing may nominate any U.S. Army War College graduate.  Awarded without respect to active duty rank or positions held, the award is intended to celebrate the attitude of continuing service to communities or the nation.  We are proud to sponsor this program as part of the USAWC birthday celebration each year.

Any Army War College Foundation member in good standing may nominate any U.S. Army War College graduate for designation as an “Outstanding Alum, U.S. Army War College.” The nomination deadline is August 1st.
