The '''Goshen War College Training Battalion''' is unique among the training battalions of the [[AFFS]] as graduates of the academy are not required to join. Instead a graduate requests permission to join the unit for additional training before moving on to an AFFS unit.<ref name=fmfs131>''Field Manual: Federated Suns'', p. 131</ref>
 
 
Another interesting aspect of the Goshen Training Battalion is the fact that its composition changes with every graduating class. In [[3062]] the unit had enough equipment to field two battalions of BattleMechs and two wings of fighters. At the same time, the Battalion had twenty-three MechWarriors and five AeroSpace Pilots.<ref name=fmfs131/>

The Goshen Training Battalion was stationed throughout the Federated Suns during the [[Jihad]]. They saw more action during the decade-long fighting than they had in the previous four decades.<ref>''Field Report: AFFS'', p. 19</ref> After the Jihad ended, the AFFS authorized the Goshen Battalion to copy the training battalion formation pioneered by the [[Sakhara Academy Training Battalion]]. The battalion was off to a good start, fielding two companies of 'Mechs, and a company each of tanks and battle armor.<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 68</ref>

===Dark Age===
 
During the [[Draconis Combine]] invasion the Goshen War College Training Cadre was transferred to the Draconis March. Despite their status as a training unit they were treated like a front-line command. At this time they consisted of a battalion of airmobile battle armor, a battalion of 'Mechs, and a battalion of combat vehicles. Despite their posting on the Kuritan front, by 3145 they had seen no action and grew frustrated.<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 87</ref> The unit was stationed on [[Avawatz]] in 3145.<ref name="FM:3145p90"/>
