  The top military officers for the Army and Navy academies lay out what they look for in students and future officers.

The article from Task & Purpose discusses the longstanding rivalry between the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, which is most famously expressed through their annual football game known as the Army-Navy Game. This rivalry, while rooted in sports, symbolizes the broader competition between the Army and Navy branches of the U.S. military. The game, which has been played since 1890, not only showcases athletic prowess but also serves as a significant morale booster and a point of pride for both academies. The article highlights how this event transcends sports, fostering a sense of unity, tradition, and friendly competition among service members, alumni, and fans. It also touches on the cultural impact of the game, including the unique traditions like the exchange of "prisoners" (midshipmen and cadets) and the singing of each academy's alma mater by the losing team. The game is more than just a sporting event; it's a celebration of military heritage and inter-service camaraderie.
