For nearly twenty years now, the American National Standards Institute Committee on Education administers a student paper competition intended to encourage understanding of the global standards system that also provides a solid prize — in the $1000 to $5000 range. The topic of the 2024 Student Paper Competition will be What Role Do or Could Standards Play in Safe and Effective Implementation of Artificial Intelligence Applications/Systems?

Reveille, from the French réveiller (“to wake up”), originated in 17th–18th century European armies as a drum or bugle signal to rouse troops at dawn. Formalized in the British and later U.S. military, it marked the start of the duty day, prompting soldiers to rise, dress, and assemble. The traditional U.S. bugle call, composed around 1812, features a lively, ascending melody played at first light (typically 5–6 AM). In barracks and bases, it remains a daily ritual, symbolizing discipline, readiness, and unity—often followed by flag-raising and morning formation.

🌲 When you’re out in the field, there are no shortcuts.
Survival training prepares cadets for those moments—teaching them how to navigate unknown terrain, sustain themselves with limited resources, and always stay mission-ready.
