Polish Culture Forum The MissionThe Kosciuszko Squadron is an association of cadets who explore and enjoy Polish culture, history, and language. They welcome others on their journey of discovery while also deepening the West Point community’s awareness of contributions to the United States by Thaddeus Kosciuszko, Poland, and Polish-Americans, particularly in military endeavors. Consistent with West Point’s model for “Developing Leaders of Character”, the Polish Culture Forum strives to prepare members “for a career of professional excellence and service to the Nation,” so that they are leaders who are “able to thrive in complex environments.”
