General

After the Andurien Secession the Humphreys Tranining Academy became the Legionary Training Academy under the controll of the Free Worlds Legions. After 10 years of standstill the institute were revitalized in 3 years and open it doors in 3051 again. The students were strictly screened by SAFE members and the graduates are assigned solely to the Legions. This fact make the Legion self-reliant in terms of replacement personnel.[1]

After the dissolution of the Free Worlds League during the Jihad, the Duchy of Andurien reclaimed the Legionary Training Academy and returned it to its former name. Despite the Duchy was lacking significant battle armor and aerospace production, relying on trade to acquire enough new equipment to replace losses, the Duchy from seriously considering expanding the training programmes offered by the Humphreys Training Academy to include training in these areas, using experienced personnel from the Andurien Rangers as instructors.[2]

Advanced Individual Training

While the Academy offers a wide range of field to study many of the Legionary troops are cross trained (one primary MOS with a second subsidiary). The academy commanders argue this enhances the battlefield performance, because they know the difficulty of the other branch.[1]

Atmosphere

The harsh exercises are used to form a relationship between the cadets and the instructor. The other goal is to break down the cultural/regional prejudices and to install loyality to the Legions (the FWL as a hole) above else. Nearly 40 percents of the entrants leave the academy, as a result of the field exercises. Mechwarriors of cannot accept the Legions succesful combined arms doctricne drop-outs or were transfered to less specialized academies.[1]
