Prototype: Imperial Defence Force Academy

To Lead, To Excel
The Imperial Defence Force Academy is the main training organisation of the Imperial Defence Force. Training both soldiers and officers for the battlefield. All potential members of the IDF attend the Academy, where they go through thorough training in the subjects of martial law, martial life, combat training, drill and ceremony, teamwork, leadership and other specialisation skills, depending on the service entry of the applicant.

The IDFA is led by the Commandant, the head of both the military and academic training at IDFA, who leads a team of lecturers, instructors and professors who train and instruct the cadets who attend IDFA. The Faculty of the IDFA and it's cadets, report directly to Imperial High Command and a regular report in given to the Council of Moffs, who also run regular inspections of the IDFA.

IDFA cadets all begin at recruit level where they are individually assessed in basic training as to where they are most suited, where their talents lie and what their weaknesses are, those who are deemed to 'weak' will be offered the opportunity to go through their basic training again should they not make the required grade to enter the IDFA. Those Recruits that do make the grade will either be sent into 'general' entry training or 'officer' entry training. Please be aware that officer training has a minimun entry score of 75 for entry, and not all recruits will be selected for this training, those who score under 75 but over 30 will offered training through 'general' entry, which will see them go into basic cadet training. Those who score under thirty will be required to go through the basic training again and be reassessed, should they again fail the assessment they will no longer be offered a place at IDFA. For those who score over 75 in their assessment and go into Cadet Under Officer training, they will enter the IDFA as Cadet Officers and be placed over a 'squad' or 'flight' of basic cadets, where both groups will learn leadership and teamwork.

IDFA will release more info soon on academic subjects offered, further military training and staff. Please be patient.
