The '''Wisdom of the Dragon'''  is an officer finishing school for the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]].  Located on [[Kagoshima]], it is open only to graduates of one of the [[Draconis Combine]]'s military academy or current members of the DCMS.  Enrollment is further restricted to those who achieved excellent grades or who have the endorsement of a ''[[tai-sa]]'' or higher-ranking officer.<ref name=HKTDC>''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', p. 137</ref><ref name=HHK>''Handbook: House Kurita'', p. 148</ref><ref name=FMDC>''Field Manual: Draconis Combine'', pp. 28–29</ref>
 
  
No basic training is taught at Wisdom, as all cadets are expected to have already gone through such training.  Instead the coursework focuses on improving the cadet's existing skills—whether as a [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]], pilot, cavalryman, infantryman, or (more recently) [[battle armor]] trooper—and turning them into some of the best warriors in the DCMS.  The intensity of the atmosphere at Wisdom has no match anywhere else, as cadets are pushed to the limits to meet the high physical and mental standards; a strict adherence to ''[[bushido]]'' adds even more pressure to the cadets.  Having already graduated from an academy (or survived on the battlefield), few cadets drop out from the pressure though, and most attrition comes during training exercises.<ref name=HHK>''Handbook: House Kurita'', p. 148</ref><ref name=FMDC/>
