I am looking into creating a partnership between my university and the French Military Academy to study there for one semester. It's usually reserved for USMA Cadets but it would be interesting with my background.
I am working with my cadre but we are in the dark for that one.
Does anyone know where to start?
Does anyone have a POC?
Edited for clarity and better context.

Step back and discuss with your cadre. Research existing exchanges between Cadet Command and partner nations; many of these are documented within the Army Campaign Support Plan (ACSP). Exchanges like the one you speak of must be nested within the appropriate OSD authority and executed by organizations authorized to negotiate with ministries of defense. USMA has utilized these resources to establish their exchange programs. Get your cadre involved.

Sir,
Thank you for your answer. It might not sound like I have my cadre involved, but I really do. I was just trying to compress as much information under the required text length. The physical constraint for this kind of posts doesn't let me elaborate too much.
We were actually looking at how we could get a first step in the process, and you just gave it to us. I am certainly not trying to go "full Rambo" on that one.
Thank you.

If your school and Cadet Command are truly interested in such an exchange, Cadet Command (maybe with you and your chain of command cc'd) should contact the US Army TRADOC Liaison Officer in France, Maj Pongpat "Deck" Piluek. He's just arriving to France, but this is exactly the type of thing that TRADOC LNOs work on, with their counterparts from the in-country DAO and ODC, and with the ASCC Security Cooperation Directorate, ASCC Desk Officer, HQDA Desk Officer, and HQDA primary offices for this sort of thing. The process most likely would go through USAREUR and HQDA, and from what I understand, generally takes a long time. This would fall perhaps under Schools of Other Nations (AR 350-1, paragraph 3-45), but there may be other authorities for Cadet Command for one-semester exchange type programs.

LTC (Join to see) - Sir,
Thank you for your help. I just talked to my cadre and they are going to try to make it happen. They think it could be a great opportunity.

If it's something the USMA does with regularity, I'd think your best bet for good information would be to contact the USMA and get their take on it. I'm sure they have a dedicated staff member for such things. It sounds like a great experience if you can pull it off; good luck.
