After the [[Andurien Secession]], the '''Humphreys Training Academy''' became the '''Legionary Training Academy''' under the control of the Free Worlds Legions. After ten years of standstill, the institute was revitalized within three years and reopened its doors by [[3051]]. The students were strenuously screened by [[SAFE]] personnel, with graduates being assigned solely to the [[Free Worlds Legionnaires]]. The Legionnaires were able to readily replace combat attrition and non combat turnover.<ref name=FMFWL29-30>''Field Manual: Free Worlds League'', pp. 29-30, "Legionary Training Academy Profile"</ref>

After the [[Andurien Secession]] the Humphreys Training Academy became the '''Legionary Training Academy''' under the control of the Free Worlds Legions. After 10 years of standstill the institute was revitalized in 3 years and opened it doors in [[3051]] again. The students were strictly screened by [[SAFE]] members and the graduates were assigned solely to the [[Free Worlds Legionnaires]]. This fact made the Legionnaires self-reliant in terms of replacement personnel.<ref name=FMFWL29-30>''Field Manual: Free Worlds League'', pp. 29-30, "Legionary Training Academy Profile"</ref>
  
After the dissolution of the [[Free Worlds League]] during the [[Jihad]], the [[Duchy of Andurien]] reclaimed the Academy, restoring the original name. Despite the Duchy lacking significant [[battle armor]] and [[aerospace fighter|aerospace]] production while simultaneously relying on trade to acquire enough new equipment to replace losses, the Anduriens expanded the training programs offered for both while hiring experienced personnel from the [[Andurien Rangers]] to be instructors.<ref name="FR:FWLMp5">''Field Report: FWLM'', p. 5, "Academies and Command Centers"</ref>

The basics of survival, small arms use, and physical fitness are taught in the first six months. To foster camaraderie among the students the instructors put each class through a series of field exercises known as a "shared hell". Discipline in comparison to other academies is noticeably less.<ref name=FMFWL29-30/>

While the Academy offers a wide range of martial occupations, many Legionary troops are cross-trained in a second. The Academy Commander argues this enhances the battlefield performance due to a shared familiarity of each other's respective roles.<ref name=FMFWL29-30/>
