The '''Nagelring''' is the Commonwealth's most prestigous and oldest military academy. Originally, the Nagelring was a Star League facility, which was taken over by House Steiner after the Exodus of [[General Kerensky]]'s [[SLDF]]. To the surprise of House Steiner, many of the former Star League instructors decided to stay on Tharkad. The Nagelring trains officers in all branches of the LCAF, including DropShip and JumpShip crews. It is known for its extensive variety of teaching aids such as Chameleon training 'Mechs and Jenny AeroSpace fighters.

Some of the most distinguished military leaders, including [[Aleksandr Kerensky]], [[Katrina Steiner]], [[Morgan Kell]] and [[Victor Ian Steiner-Davion]], graduated at the Nagelring.

In 3025, the head of the academy is [[Hauptmann-General]] Beckley Winston-Steiner. <ref>''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'' p. 122</ref>

'''Sanglamore on Skye''' is another former Star League academy and is considered the twin of the famed Nagelring on Tharkad. However, the academy was severly damaged during [[House Kurita]]'s attempt to invade Skye. Since then, the facility was no longer able to train naval officers. Instead, Sanglamore concentrated its efforts on the best possible 'MechWarrior training and education of the LCAF's warrant officers.

However, Sanglamore is heavily influenced by Federation seperatist sentiment. This secures a high percentage of LIC personel on campus. In addition, many of its graduates try to join the [[Skye Rangers]]. [[Anastasius Focht]] graduated at Sanglamore.

The '''Tamar War College''' reopened in [[3025]], after it had been destroyed by [[DCMS]]-forces during one of [[House Kurita]]'s invasion attempts during the [[Third Succession War]]. Most of its instructors and cadets died in the valiant defence of [[Tamar]]. The reconstruction of the facility began 3017, almost a hundred years after the Kurita forces have ben pushed off-world. In 3025, the War College trained only 'MechWarriors and ground personnel. The first cadets of the restored academy graduated in 3028.

The Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces or Lyran Alliance Armed Forces (abbreviated LCAF or LAAF) consists of several branches, including ground forces and naval forces. The political leader of the Lyran Commonwealth - the Archon - is the most senior military commander.

During the Third and Fourth Succession Wars, the Lyran Commonwealth was divided into four military districts and nine theatres, nine of which lie along borders with the Draconis Combine and the Free Worlds League. Citizens of the Lyran Commonwealth can join the military at the age of sixteen at any of the numerous recruiting centers within the Commonwealth.




Military Ranks

The Brandenberg Edicts of 2413 established the rank system for the LCAF from 2413 through the Fourth Succession War. Following the formation of the Federated Commonwealth, the rank systems of both the Lyran Commonwealth and the Federated Suns were merged into a single structure. After the dissolution of the Federated Commonwealth, the Lyran command structure was reverted to that of the Lyran Commonwealth (with few changes) as a matter of national pride.
