After the war, in 1919, he returned to the Military Academy and graduated as a second lieutenant.Argo was a field artillery officer in the U.S. Army at a time that the horse was as prominent a part of a successful unit as in a cavalry unit.

The second day was an endurance ride of 22 ½ miles over five different courses and the last day was stadium jumping where riders a course of 12 jumps at a 14 mile per hour gait.Argo, the only field artillery officer in this part of the competition, rode Honolulu Tom Boy in a remarkable performance without a fault at a jump during the stadium jumping—the only rider without a fault that day. The U.S. team led from the start and was described by the 1932 Field Artillery Journal as a “glorious achievement for our riders and horses,” as they took the gold medal. In the individual standings, Thomson took the silver for the U.S., Chamberlin finished fourth and Argo eighth.Argo continued his Army career long after his Olympic glory days. He was transferred to Fort Humphreys, D.C., on Apr. 20, 1939 and promoted to major a few months later. He then served at Fort Riley, Kan. and Camp Beauregard, La.
