In the first four years they instill a sense of familiarity among the cadets. The daily life consists of physical training and drills. Cadets receive extensive instructions in hand-to-hand combat and wilderness survival techniques, in addition to the use of firearms and melee weapons.<ref name=FMFWL31-32/>

The Academy offers only Mechwarrior training, but also provides advanced courses in leadership and strategy for the use in combined arms operations. The final exams are known as "El Diablo", a chaotic multiregiment battle. In this scenario the cadet must lead an unit after the "death" of a senior officer. The pass mark is saving 25 percent of friendly forces, and any student that scores more than 50 percent graduates with honors.<ref name=FMFWL31-32/>

The excellent teacher-pupil ratio (because of the small size of the academy) is good for the students. Much of the intensive training occours in the early years. The theory is put into practical experience within the final years. These circumstances will work for the students in their future careers.<ref name=FMFWL31-32/>

==Graduation==
 
==Graduation==
After their graduation, many cadets receive senior command posts and the strong esprit de corps, the cadets gained, mostly survives the academy time. This leads to the so-called "Orloff Mafia", due to former cadets bearing the ceremonial dirk they received after their final tests. The new promoted lieutenants generally make the first tour of duty within the Orloff grenadiers.<ref name=FMFWL31-32/>

==History==
 
In [[3015]] students and equipment from the Orloff Military Academy were on [[Vanra]], supporting the [[6th Marik Militia|Sixth]] and [[9th Marik Militia]] as well as the [[1st Orloff Grenadiers]]. This trial by fire saw the OMA students fighting against elements of Wolf's Dragoons Alpha and Gamma Regiments and the [[4th Regulan Hussars]].<ref>''Historical: Brush Wars'', p. 29, "Vanra"</ref>
