USMA (West Point) Admissions has a nationwide network of military academy liaison officers (MALOs) to provide service to candidates, educators, congressional offices, West Point parents clubs and cadets. The Southwest admissions region (yes, they consider Kansas and Missouri in their SW region) has an army reserve officer living Kansas City and working directly for the USMA Admissions Office to service the greater Kansas City and surrounding areas.

The primary responsibilities of the MALO is to assist and evaluate candidates for admission as cadets. In order to accomplish this purpose the MALO force conducts admissions meetings throughout the year, appear at high school college nights, conduct physical aptitude examinations (PAEs) required for admission, conduct candidate interviews, serve on or as advisors to congressional nomination boards, and otherwise act as the local representatives of West Point for candidates.
