The '''New Avalon Military Academy''' (NAMA) was formed in [[2614]] to train officers for the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] after the older [[Albion Military Academy]] (AMA) was designated an official [[Star League]] Military Academy for the exclusive use of the [[Star League Defense Force]]. The [[AFFS]] lavished resources on NAMA, which quickly came to rival the AMA in terms of the quality of training offered and the caliber of the officer graduates. NAMA also put its graduates through heavy political training, something absent from the classes at the AMA; this training was designed to ensure that those officers graduating from NAMA were loyal to the [[First Prince]] and the AFFS above all.<ref name="FR2765:FSp5">''Field Report 2765: AFFS'', p. 5: "Academies and Command Centers"</ref>

After the collapse of the Star League and the return of the more prestigious AMA to [[House Davion]] control, NAMA fell into disfavor until the reigns of [[Ian Davion]] and [[Hanse Davion]]. A former graduate, Ian ensured the academy was rebuilt and updated after he became [[First Prince]], an effort his younger brother Hanse continued, using the NAMA as the basis for the New Avalon Institute of Science.

The NAIS became the most developed and sophisticated military academy in the entirety of the [[Inner Sphere]]. Home to some of the most advanced training equipment, the CMS lacks nothing in the way of resources or facilities, with plenty of training [[‘Mech]]s, fighters, and simulators for any conceivable ‘Mech design known today. The College also boasts three Gauntlets, special ‘Mech training grounds designed to test both BattleMech designs and 'Mech pilots. Its large alumni base includes such notable graduates as [[Kai Allard-Liao]] and the aforementioned Ian Davion.

The New Avalon Institute of Science (NAIS) College of Military Science continues to turn out some of the best MechWarriors and officers in the Federated Suns. Graduates are not required to pursue military careers, in the Federated Suns or elsewhere, so young hopefuls come from across the Inner Sphere to attend the NAIS. Many of these young men and women take what they have learned and join respected mercenary companies or return to their country of origin and join one of the Great House militaries. What the new First Prince of the Federated Suns will do about this practice and the resultant increase of military capability across the Inner Sphere remains to be seen.<ref name=MWDA_Uniquesp393>''MechWarrior Dark Ages Uniques'', p. 393: "NAIS College of Military Sciences"</ref>

Every academy member (instructor, staff, cadet) must pass a strict background screening by the military and civil secret agencies ([[DMI]]/[[MIIO]]). The Davion family has counted on the total loyalty of the Academy and its staff and students for centuries. The training cadres comprise three full BattleMech regiments and their supporting elements.
