History
Founded during the twenty-fifth century, the Albion Military Academy has graduated many cadets who went on to become successful officers; an education at the Academy was commonly seen as a guarantee of a successful career in the future. Many Davions were members of this proud institution and put their support behind it. The training cadre was the second largest of any in the Federated Suns prior to the Jihad, and included two full regiments and support units, the largest formation after the NAIS cadres.[1] The Albion Military Academy was located in the Camelot region of New Avalon,[2] some thirty kilometers south of Avalon City itself, and the academy offered access to anything the cadets might need; despite the greater public attention lavished on the NAIS, the Albion Military Academy received almost as much funding and the greater attention paid to the NAIS was a cause for some resentment amongst Albion cadets.[1]
Atmosphere
Albion cadets faced an education that demanded far more than other institutions do from their cadets; because of this the number who drop out each year is high, a by-product of both the exacting physical and academic standards but also the hazing that was commonplace within the Academy. Academy cadets would also frequently interact with - and compete with - students from the NAIS College of Military Science - and the culmination of this competition had been formalised into annual wargames for the title of "the Young Lions of New Avalon."[1]
Special Notes
The academy is so closely located to important facilities that every new student must pass heavy screening at the hands of agents from the DMI.[1]
Training
The military training programmes offered by the Albion Military Academy by 3079 included: BattleMech, Infantry, Battle Armor, Armor, Aerospace, DropShips, Technician, Engineer.[2]
