The Black Knights of Army and Midshipmen of Navy will square off for the
115th time for one of the most storied rivalries in college sports on
Dec. 13, at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland, for the 2014
Army-Navy Game. Gates open at 11 a.m.
The march on of the Brigade of Midshipmen and Corps of Cadets begins at
12:16 p.m. and 12:46 p.m. respectively. Kickoff is at 3:10 p.m. ET.
On game day, the Army will highlight its state-of-the-art, high-tech
opportunities. A variety of Army equipment and technologies, including
the latest M-ATV (Mine-Resistant Ambush-Protected All-Terrain Vehicle), a
Paladin self-propelled howitzer cannon system, and Stryker and Bradley
armored fighting vehicles, will be on display outside the stadium. These
capabilities are representative samples of equipment found within the
Army's brigade combat teams.
Game-goers will also see how Soldiers and leaders at all echelons share
data, imagery and position information. Attendees will have the
opportunity to handle Soldiers' body armor, night vision goggles,
thermal sights, and individual and crew-served weapon systems.
The Army-Navy game connects the American public to the Army, maintaining
and strengthening goodwill, which is vital to the Army's success. It
highlights the U.S. Military Academy's role to educate, train and
inspire the Corps of Cadets to become commissioned leaders of character,
who are committed to the values of Duty, Honor, Country, and are
prepared for professional excellence as officers in the U.S. Army.
While on the field, the Cadets from the U.S. Military Academy at West
Point, New York, and Midshipment from the U.S. Naval Academy, in
Annapolis, Maryland, will compete with every ounce of their being. More
importantly, in the very near future, every cadet and midshipman will
begin their professional careers, serving as commissioned officers,
leading the sons and daughters of America in the defense of the nation.
They will unite to form one of the most powerful fighting forces the
world has ever known, the joint team of the U.S Armed Forces.
See the game on CBS television or hear it live on radio over the Army
Sports Network and SiriusXM Satellite Radio channels 93 & 201. The
game will also be aired worldwide on the American Forces Network.
