The history of the Sandhurst Royal Military College dates back to its founding as the initial infantry and cavalry officer training school of the British Army in 1801, 160 years before the beginning of manned spaceflight in 1961. In 1947, Sandhurst merged with the Royal Military Academy Woolwich, which had prepared officers for the Royal Engineers, Royal Army Medical Corps, and Royal Artillery to create one all-purpose officer training school for the British Army. Out of these comparatively ancient times and into the era of mankind's expansion and conflict among the stars, Sandhurst has survived wars and the passage of centuries, and has endured in its role as a military college for over 1,000 years. Sandhurst came to greater prominence after [[Michael Cameron]] graduated from the college, leading it to become considered the best and most prestigious military academy in the [[Terran Hegemony]] and later the [[Star League]], the pinnacle of the [[Star League Defense Force]]s so-called "War Triad" with the [[War Academy of Mars]] and the [[Military Academy of Aphros]]. <ref name=SL-108>''Star League'', p. 108 "Military Academies on Terra"</ref>

The revitalized Sandhurst served as the primary training facility and command headquarters for ComStar's military forces until Terra fell to the [[Word of Blake]] during [[Battle of Terra (3058)|Operation ODYSSEUS]] in [[3058]]. Sandhurst was a primary target of the Blakist forces and its cadets would prove to among the strongest resistance to the invading forces. Save for reinstating the indoctrination classes the Secular ComStar halted and more stringent security precautions, the Blakists operated Sandhurst almost identically.
