Essentially, the school where a military officer learns his or her trade, that of leading enlisted servicemembers into combat. A college-level military academy trains future officers in tactics and strategy. They also do non-military coursework and get practical military experience in areas such as marksmanship. In fiction, these academies are popular for their ability to combine School Tropes with Military and Warfare Tropes and allow for use of the various plots and characters that come with both settings. A military academy comes in several forms: Traditional Military Academy: A college level program where adult students are taught to be officers, typically while simultaneously achieving a Bachelor's Degree. Students at traditional military academies are subject to military disciplinary and uniform standards "full time", unless on leave away from the academy, and are called Cadets or Midshipmen. Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC): A form of "part-time" military academy, where a student attends a normal civilian college or university, but additionally participates in frequent military training and additional military-related classes throughout the school year. They are then commissioned as junior officers shortly after graduation. In fiction, this can be fertile ground for plots that contrast the experiences of the ROTC cadets/midshipmen with their civilian classmates, for good or ill. Officer Training/Candidate School (OCS/OTS): A shorter course intended for officer candidates who already have a Bachelor's Degree and merely need the military training necessary to function as an officer. Often used for higher-educated enlisted servicemembers to advance to the Officer's ranks. This style of academy is the closest to a Basic Training or Boot Camp for officers. Very popular during large wars where the existing officer corps is too small, and/or the traditional academy too slow, to effectively command all parts of a military that is rapidly expanding or having to replace heavy combat losses. Occasionally, a military may have an OCS or OTS as the only method by which one can become an officer, essentially forcing all officers to come up through the ranks. Staff College: Effectively, military graduate school. Where officers are trained in the administrative and policy areas of their profession, for high-level command, perhaps even General or Flag rank. Also attracts the more academically minded officers, who may do research and write articles on military history or theories. These may also be open to civilians (typically career diplomats and defense officials approaching the highest echelons of their fields) and foreign military officers. It is not uncommon for serious academic research into military strategy, tactics, national security studies and international relations to come out of a military staff college. Often within a military service, there is some tension and/or friendly rivalry between graduates of each type. Traditional academy alumni might be elitist "Ring Knockers" who look down on "13-Week Wonder" Officer Candidate School graduates, whereas those OCS grads who were formerly enlisted servicemembers might disdain all those who became officers "the easy way" without getting experience serving in the ranks first. This should not be confused with Basic Training or Boot Camp, which is a crash course for turning civilians into enlisted soldiers. Basic Training is aimed at the lowest common denominator and is intended to teach the most basic military skills; typically they take a few months to complete at most, whereas a military academy typically takes several months or years to create a new officer. (Not that it always helps them succeed right away!) Compare with Military School, which is a military institutional environment for junior high and high school students that typically does not graduate its students directly into the military. Nonetheless, it does provide a good background for students aiming at a military career. Also compare Space Cadet Academy, which is a Military Academy IN SPACE!. |

StarCraft: The Terran Confederacy - and later the Dominion - has the Ghost Academy, which is used to train psychic candidates into Super Soldiers known as Ghosts. StarCraft Ghost: Nova and StarCraft: Ghost Academy depicted the Academy during Nova's training days. The short story "Icehouse" depicted a training facility of the same name, which served to train hardcore criminals that cannot be neural resocialized into Reapers. |

Saganami Island, the military academy for the Star Empire of Manticore in Honor Harrington, gets a fair amount of development in terms of its institutional culture. Honor was an instructor there for a few years while on medical leave. It also has the Advanced Tactics Course (affectionately known as The Crusher), that any officer hoping for a line command must pass (It's possible to get a destroyer command without graduating ATC, but nobody gets a bigger hyper-capable command than that without surviving The Crusher), that may be considered a Staff College of sorts. While Honor was teaching basic tactics at Saganami, she was also serving as Commandant of the ATC. | |

Any Ninja Village worth their salt now has a competent Ninja Academy in Naruto. Training as a ninja is voluntary, but it most often starts at a young age (The Rookie Nine enrolled when they were eight years old). Though, there seems to be a lacking of therapists for students who need it, though one (Naruto) is a pariah of the village, and no one would have a problem with the other (Sasuke} trying to take revenge on the person who killed his entire family. Tobirama Senju was the Hokage who founded the first ever Ninja Academy too, which quickly spread to all five nations. | |

Later, cadets and graduates of the Academy stage the Dawn Uprising, an attack under Garma's leadership against the Federation garrison of Side 3 in response to (rumoured) Federation repression. The original Mobile Suit Gundam established that Char and Garma had attended the Academy together, but The Origin greatly elaborated on it. | |

BattleTech has several of these, including Sandhurst. Any major power has at least three or four which train both officers and Mech Warriors. Usually the one on the capital world is the most prestigious, and rivalries are common between graduates of different academies. Averted with the Clans, whose officer-equivalents generally attain higher rank via a live-fire Trial of Position. The resulting lack of strategic and logistical professionalism in most Clans, as opposed to tactical acumen, really up and bites them in the hind parts more than once in the setting. |

The Schola is set up specifically to teach the orphaned children of the Emperor's servants, Guardsmen, arbitrators, and the like. Considering the setting, there's no shortage of students. In fact, Schola is usually seen as a goal in itself. After all, it provides food, shelter and, let's be honest, its education is almost as good as it gets. Eldar Aspect Shrines also arguably qualify-they are where an Eldar embarks on the path of the Aspect Warrior, and trains in the mentality and combat style of the chosen Aspect. |

An Officer and a Gentleman centers on a cadet at an Officer's Training School. The school in this film is an example of a school that commissions aviators but does not provide undergraduate academics. | |

In one of the early missions of the Allied campaign of Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2, you liberate and then defend the United States Air Force Academy from the Soviets (who have taken the cadets hostage in the Chapel), and then use it as a base to wipe the Soviets out. You can garrison the Academy Chapel, for what it's worth. | |

In Legend of the Galactic Heroes, the Free Planets Alliance Officer Academy is one such institution, with prospective students enrolled as officer cadets and receive free undergraduate education, provided that they stay in the military upon graduation. That's how Wen-Li ended in the military — his greatest dream was to study history, but he didn't have money for college, so he enlisted to do it on a Nation's dime. And damn did he excel at it! | |

The main setting of Fire Emblem: Three Houses is the Officers Academy at Garreg Mach Monastery, located at the centre of the continent of Fódlan. It’s operated by one of the most powerful institutions on the continent, the Church of Seiros, and the students of the academy are tasked with putting down threats to the peace, from bandit attacks to rebellions against the church. Early on the player chooses from one of three classes of students to instruct in the ways of combat and leadership, and it is where the player spends most of their downtime. After the Time Skip, when Fódlan is engulfed in war, the monastery is the player's main base of operations. | |

The Gardens from Final Fantasy VIII, which combine this with Elaborate University High. Oddly, rather than feeding their graduates into a particular nation's military, they seem to act more like regular colleges in that it just prepares you for a job which you then have to go find on your own. Also, all its students are under eighteen, to as young as five. | |

Voltes V: Prince Heinel attended the Boazanian Institute of Military Sciences and Warfare, knowing that he had little chance across the ruling noblity (despite being the Prince). He ended up being their best student and graduated as their top cadet. As a result, he was chosen to lead the Earthern Invasion Force, much to the chagrin of Zaki, Zuhl and Belgan, who coveted the position. | |
