The '''Capella War College''' is the oldest academy for military studies in the [[Capellan Confederation]]. Founded in the same year as the [[Capellan Hegemony]], the War College demands the most from its applicants, showing preference for those with prior military schooling or the patronage of a [[CCAF]] officer.  The facility itself is extensive, allowing for hands-on training and live-fire exercises.  Coursework includes classical and contemporary military philosophies, combined-arms tactics and independent operations; technical students are often given extracurricular work at one of [[Capella]]'s local production facilities. Most students struggle under the workload, but the few who exceed it are given preferential treatment and allowed entrance into one of the War College's demonstration units.  Each of these companies—one each of [['Mech]]s, [[infantry]], [[aerospace fighter]]s and [[combat vehicle|armor]]—frequently give precision drill exhibitions.<ref name=FMCC46>''Field Manual: Capellan Confederation'', p. 46: "Capella War College Profile"</ref><ref name=HHL105>''Handbook: House Liao'', p. 105</ref>
