−	The War College of Buena required every cadet, whether front line soldier or technician, to serve for six months in the training battalion. This provided the cadets with practical knowledge to supplement the theory they received in the academy's classrooms. The cadets in the battalion also underwent a series of live-fire exercises on the Tomasova Martial Range, and field deployments in the [[Bolan Province]] and [[Timbuktu Theater]] were also common. Instructors in the battalion also forced the cadets to operate at their physical and mental limits. The harsh discipline forced the cadets to adapt their classroom lessons to a practical format and work as part of a team. Cadets who were unable to do so washed out of the program.<ref name=FMLAp122/>	+	The War College of Buena required every cadet, whether front line soldier or technician, to serve for six months in the training battalion.

	In [[3067]] the Buena War College Training Battalion reduced their student's service cycles from six months to three months. This allowed the battalion to train twice as many cadets, which was critical to rebuilding a military damaged in the [[FedCom Civil War]].<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 174</ref>		In [[3067]] the Buena War College Training Battalion reduced their student's service cycles from six months to three months.

The largest problem that the Battalion had at that time was finding enough equipment for its cadets.

They fought alongside the [[3rd Collective Guards]] at the War College, facing the [[8th Lyran Regulars]]. When the Regulars withdrew, the Training Battalion struck the Collective Guards' positions from behind, allowing the Regulars to drive the Third Guards from the field.
