Once the cadre unit for one of the premier military academies, first for the [[Capellan Confederation]]'s [[Sarna Commonality]] and then the [[Federated Commonwealth]]'s [[Sarna March]], the poor fortunes of the [[Sarna Martial Academy]] since the days of the [[Chaos March]] have made the '''Sarna Martial Academy Cadre''' a ghost of its former self.

==History==
===Formation===

===4th Succession War to Clan Invasion===
{{Sectionstub}}

Save for short duration assignments, the Cadre remained close to home on Sarna during the [[War of 3039]] <ref name=Wo39-138>''Historical:War of 3039'', p. 138, "Deployment Tables"</ref>, and [[Clan Invasion]] <ref name=20YU>''20-Year Update'', p. 23 "AFFC Deployment Tables"</ref> <ref name=OR>''Objective Raids'', p. 17 "AFFC Deployment Tables"</ref>.

===Operation GUERRERO and Sarna Supremacy===
The Cadre defended Sarna during [[Operation GUERRERO]], and later formed the core of the [[Sarna Supremacy]] military.<ref>''Chaos March (sourcebook)'', pp. 12-13</ref> Several officers of the Cadre helped Governor Montog-Chandler form the Supremacy.<ref>''Chaos March (sourcebook)'', p. 89</ref>

===''Xin Sheng'' Campaign===
After the Sarna Supremacy became a protectorate of the Confederation and its worlds were again defended by the CCAF, the Academy and the Cadre returned to a curriculum to allow its graduates to enter the Capellan military. During the [[Capellan-St. Ives War|Xing Sheng Campaign]] the Cadre was assigned to garrison duty on the logistically important world of [[Capella]], coming under attack from the elite [[1st St. Ives Lancers]]. Though the Cadre took heavy losses, alongside the other defenders of Capella, the Lancers were pushed off world.

Despite its service to the Confederation during that conflict, many within the CCAF still questioned the Academy's loyalties. Reduced to less than half a regiment, while boasting sufficient personnel to rebuild, the Academy lacked the matériel to do so. Though still operational, the Supremacy's lack of funds and the CCAF's reluctance to help meant by [[3062]] the Cadre operated as a reinforced battalion. <ref name=FMCC>''Field Manual: Capellan Confederation'', p. 118 "Sarna Martial Academy Cadre"</ref>

As of [[3067]] the Cadre, reduced to an 85% strength battalion, was stationed on [[Lesalles]]. <ref name=FMU>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 33 "CCAF Deployment Tables"</ref>

===Jihad===
To try and make up for the loss of the [[Citizens' Honored]]'s [[15th Dracon]] regiment on [[Overton]] during the opening stages of Duke [[George Hasek II|George Hasek]]’s [[Operation SOVEREIGN JUSTICE]], the Capellan [[Strategios]] moved the cadre into the ex-[[mercenary unit]] brigade, more for administrative purposes than as a proper formal transfer. The loyalty issues suffered by the cadre during the ''[[Xin Sheng]]'' period faded away as the heavy losses of the [[Jihad]] made keeping the training battalion in operation vital to allow the CCAF to recoup and rebuild. While still based on Sarna, [[company]]-sized detachments were sent on peacekeeping and patrol duties into the [[Liao Commonality]] to provide cadets much needed experience. <ref name="FRCCAF">''Field Report: CCAF'', p 16. "Citizens' Honored"</ref>

The Sarna Cadre was the only remaining MechWarrior training program in the Liao Commonality. After several years of observation, they were welcomed back to the [[CCAF]]. The unit was assigned by the Strategios to function as part of the [[Liao Cháng-Chéng]].<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 31</ref> In [[3085]] they were stationed on [[Ulan Bator]].<ref name=FM3085p34/>

In 3145 they were stationed on [[Sarna]].<ref name=fm3145pp45>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 45</ref>

==Tactics==
While practicing textbook regimental tactics for most of its existence, after the Pyrrhic victory on Capella the Cadre has increased focused on small-unit tactics. <ref name=FMCC/>
