The Black Knights were led by ninth-year head coach Jeff Monken and played their home games at Michie Stadium in West Point, New York.

The Black Knights finished the season with a record of 6–6, beating Navy but losing possession of the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy after a loss to Air Force.

This year's Army-Navy Game uniforms for the Army Black Knights are dedicated to the soldiers of the 1st Armored Division during World War II.

The helmet decal has the 1st Armored Division's unit patch which includes cavalry (yellow), infantry (blue), and field artillery (red).

The uniform (jersey and pants) feature a "mud splatter" look to highlight the harsh conditions experienced by the unit's tanks.
