==History==

===First Succession War===
The '''First New Avalon Military Academy Training Battalion''' or '''First NAMA''' was one of three [[regiment]]s of troops mustered from the cadet classes of the [[New Avalon Military Academy]] during the [[First Succession War]]. Formed at some point after [[2786]], the First saw combat on at least one world during the War.<ref name="FSWp134">''First Succession War'', p. 134: "Armed Forces of the Federated Suns (AFFS)"</ref>

===Clan Invasion===
As of [[3050]], the '''1st NAIS Cadet Cadre''' was based on its homeworld [[Exeter]].<ref name=20YU>''20 Year Update'', p. 19: "Federated Commonwealth Deployment Table"</ref>

By [[3054]], they had been relocated to [[Schedar]].<ref name=ORp13/>

===Civil War===
During the [[FedCom Civil War]], the 1st NAIS was the garrison of [[Tikonov]]. When it became clear that their loyalties are pro-Victor, [[Katherine Steiner-Davion]] ordered the attack of the [[15th Deneb Light Cavalry]]. The [[Valexa CMM]] came to aid the 1st NAIS, but they were still outmatched. Later, in [[3064]], the pro-Katherine [[3rd Republican|3rd Republican Guards]] also arrived on Tikonov. In early [[3065]] Victor's task-force attacked Tikonov, saving the remains of the 1st NAIS.<ref name="fmu136">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 136: "NAIS Training Cadre"</ref>

Later, when Victor's forces had to retreat, the 1st NAIS, the Valexa militia and the [[6th Crucis Lancers]] stayed on Tikonov to hold out, until the offensive had gained new momentum. The 1st NAIS joined with Victor's forces for the final battle on [[New Avalon]], attacking Avalon City and taking losses from an artillery strike by the [[299th Division (ComStar)|299th Division]].<ref>''FedCom Civil War'', p. 170</ref>

===Jihad===
In [[3078]] Princess-Regent [[Yvonne Steiner-Davion]] signed the Academy Appropriations War Powers Act. This act conscripted the surviving members of the Training Cadre into the AFFS. As a result, the First Cadre was disbanded in 3078 and integrated into the [[Davion Brigade of Guards]]. The future of the Cadre is unknown, but if reconstituted it will likely follow the [[LCT]] model.<ref name="fra19">''Field Report: AFFS'', p. 19</ref>

The First NAIS Cadet Cadre was re-formed in [[3085]]. The new cadre unit found itself undergoing a shift in tactics. Where it formerly had only light and medium 'Mechs, the First Cadre now employs cavalry tactics employed by any appropriate unit, regardless of weight class. These tactics focus primarily on the hit and run tactics used by the defenders of New Avalon. The battle armor used by the First Cadre is primarily of heavy and assault classes. Once the First Cadre was formed, it deployed to [[Kathil]] where its student-soldiers mirrored the [[Davion Heavy Guards]] [[RCT]].<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 68</ref>
