USAHEC Mission Statement
Who We Are
The U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center is an integral part of the Army University, maintaining the knowledge repositories that support scholarship and research about the U.S. Army and its operating environment. The mission statement of USAHEC reflects the convergence of library books, archival materials, and museum artifacts into a single collection of knowledge that supports learning and research, while prioritizing support to patron communities.
