- Il Valley Forge Military Academy and College è un collegio scolastico maschile statunitense ubicato a Wayne (contea di Delaware, Pennsylvania), poco lontano da Filadelfia. L'istituzione scolastica è una scuola superiore in cui gli allievi possono seguire i corsi dal settimo al dodicesimo anno; è inoltre uno dei cinque junior college militari degli Stati Uniti, scuole post diploma di durata biennale destinate a preparare ufficiali della riserva per l'esercito americano, ferma restando la necessità di completare altri due anni di corso per divenire ufficiali in servizio effettivo. Questo tuttavia non esclude che i diplomati di questo corso possano invece proseguire gli studi senza entrare nella carriera militare. Il college ospita normalmente oltre 500 studenti. (it)
- Valley Forge Military Academy and College (VFMAC) is a private boarding school (grades 7–12) and military junior college in Wayne, Pennsylvania. It follows in the traditional military school format with army traditions. Though military in tradition and form, the high school portion of VFMAC, Valley Forge Military Academy, is a college-preparatory boarding institution specializing in student leadership. VFMAC's administration is composed almost entirely of current or retired military, and the board of trustees is almost entirely alums. Some graduates pursue careers in the armed services, and VFMAC has graduated one Rhodes Scholarship recipient. Valley Forge Military College is the only private military junior college in the United States. All students are members of the Corps of Cadets. The academy and college were once fully residential, but the academy offers a day-student program. The Valley Forge Corps of Cadets, entirely student-run, is the only American military organization maintaining British rank, drill, customs, and ceremonies. All cadets must pass a board and earn a "capshield" to be a member of the Corps of Cadets. It is the only corps of cadets in the United States to retain a traditional mounted battalion (squadron), consisting of one cavalry troop and one artillery battery. The college styles cadet uniforms after the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. The VFMAC Regimental Sergeant Major, Drum Major and Field Music Drum Major wear the British Army Foot Guard uniform, including the red coat and bearskin. Cadet Senior Non-Commissioned Officers (NCOs) carry a British Army pace stick, modeled on that carried by British warrant officers. The school has established a tradition with the British monarchy; it follows an American military academy model and practices the Army tradition. VFMAC has a British Army Garrison Sergeant Major, with William 'Billy' Mott, OBE MVO, Welsh Guards (who organized the military parades for the Royal Wedding of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, The Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II, Ceremonial Funeral of Baroness Thatcher and 13 Trooping the Colour ceremonies) as the first Garrison Sergeant Major appointed as VFMAC staff.
