[[File:H4FUD Corbulo Academy.jpg|thumb|250px|A general view of Corbulo Academy.]]
[[File:H4FUD Corbulo Academy.jpg|thumb|250px|A general view of Corbulo Academy.]]
The campus of Corbulo Academy stood atop a mountain within a wooded region on Circinius IV; the surroundings of the school were used as training grounds. The main complex of the academy followed the UNSC's characteristic design aesthetic, closely reminiscent of the 20th-century style known as [[Wikipedia:Brutalist architecture|Brutalist architecture]], being composed of angular, low-rise concrete structures, walkways and spacious plazas with minimalist decoration in form of pools of water and carefully managed greenery. The academy's central building rested on a series of support pillars and enclosed a quadrangle containing a park with a decorative pool. The campus was dominated by a [[space elevator]] that stood in the middle of the buildings and was used for ferrying personnel and cargo from surface to orbit. The facility also contained several massive communications dishes and a number of large vertical-axis [[wind turbine]]s for power generation. Playing fields and other open training areas were located just outside the buildings.

Playing fields and other open training areas were located just outside the main complex of buildings.
 
Many walls within the academy were adorned with the academy's insignia as well as other UNSC symbols or [[propaganda]] posters. Corbulo Academy made heavy use of the poem ''[[Forward Unto Dawn (poem)|"Forward Unto Dawn"]]'' for propaganda purposes; lines including ''"From Earth, For Earth"'' and ''"Today, Tomorrow, Forever"'' were displayed as slogans in UNSC banners across the academy and the poem itself was inscribed over the cadets' beds in the school's dormitories. A somewhat anachronistic statue of the school's namesake wielding an [[MA5 series]] assault rifle was located next to the pool within the academy's central courtyard.


The cadets' dormitory facilities consisted of corridors lined with two-person sleeping quarters, with minimalist interior decoration similar to the rest of the campus. These rooms were equipped with [[holography|holographic]] data terminals which were commonly used for accessing messages from relatives or browsing news reports, among other activities. Adjoining the dorm corridors were equipment and weapons locker rooms, showers and cryo training facilities dedicated for each squad.

==Curriculum==
The Corbulo curriculum was geared around the teaching of military science to its officer cadets. [[wikipedia:Military science|Military science]] is defined as the theory, method, and practice of producing military capability in a manner consistent with national defense policy.<ref>[[wikipedia:Military science|'''Military science''']] on Wikipedia</ref>


===Curriculum===
For first years, teaching was not geared towards a particular service, and even cadets who would become [[UNSC Navy|Naval]] officers (such as [[Thomas Lasky]]) would participate in extensive field and classroom exercises designed to teach ground combat tactics such as the [[wikipedia:Pincer movement|pincer movement]]. Additionally, first year cadets would regularly be put into [[cryo chamber]]s and thawed in order to acclimatise them to the cryosleep process used aboard UNSC Navy ships.<ref>'''Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn''' ''Part 2''</ref> Other first year training included basic fitness, military courtesies, and hand-to-hand combat.<ref>'''Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn''' ''Part 1''</ref>
[[File:CAMS - lecture.jpg|thumb|250px|A group of cadets gathered around a [[holography|holo-table]] during a lecture on tactics.]]
Corbulo Academy was an institution primarily dedicated for the offspring of high-ranking UNSC or UEG officials,{{Ref/Reuse|fudp1}} with the cadets generally being around fifteen to sixteen years of age in their first year<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5IEiHdTv7E& '''YouTube''': ''Halo After Dawn: Episode 6 - Joyride'']</ref> and graduating with an officer's commission after a four-year education.

[[wikipedia:Military science|Military science]] is defined as the theory, method, and practice of producing military capability in a manner consistent with national defense policy.<ref>[[wikipedia:Military science|'''Military science''']] on Wikipedia</ref>


The cadets' eventual choice of career appears to have been relatively open-ended, with the graduates ending up serving in various military branches and roles.

First year cadets were arranged into nine-person [[squad]]s for training purposes. By their fourth year, at least some senior cadets were given command of these squads.<ref>'''Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn''' ''Part 1''</ref>
==History==
===Attacked===
[[File:FUD-Corbulo-Ruins.jpg|thumb|250px|An outdoor walkway strewn with debris and bodies after the attack.]]
{{Main|Battle at Corbulo Academy}}
During the opening days of the [[Human-Covenant War]] circa [[2526]], [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI Section II]] kept the [[Covenant]] invasion secret from a large portion of the general population; this included Corbulo Academy's cadets and most of the school's personnel, although General Black was informed. As preparation for a possible attack, Black discreetly increased the readiness of the [[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marine]] garrison posted in the academy and authorized limited communications blackouts under the guise of routine maintenance procedures.

Not long after, the school came under attack by the Covenant, with at least three [[SDV-class heavy corvette|heavy corvettes]] descending over the campus and one of them destroying the academy's space elevator, halting the ongoing evacuation effort. Teams of Marine [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] dropped in to the academy grounds to reinforce the locally stationed Marines, with the [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan]] supersoldiers [[John-117]], [[Kelly-087]], [[Frederic-104]] later arriving to support the academy's defense. Corbulo's officer cadets and the local Marine guard were caught off-guard by this attack, which resulted in the deaths of virtually all the students and personnel stationed at the academy, save for [[Hastati Squad|three survivors]] rescued by Blue Team. The Academy itself was completely destroyed when the planet was [[glassing|glassed]] after the attack.<ref>'''Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn''' ''Part 5''</ref>

===Uniforms and grooming standards===
[[File:FUD Orenski Lasky Silva color adjust.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Three cadets in the white service uniform.]]
For "everyday" occasions such as classes and personal time, the cadets at Corbulo Academy wear a white service uniform featuring a similar cut to the Navy's [[UNSC Navy Service Uniform|officer service dress]]. It is a relatively simple uniform compared to the advanced uniforms seen in use by the active-duty forces, though incorporates a professional appearance and a moderate aspect of utility for field use. As with many uniforms throughout the UNSC military, there are no distinctions between the uniforms worn by male and female cadets. The uniform is a form-fitting ensemble and does not include any known headdress. The tunic's main feature, a large carbon gray section, runs the length of the uniform and attaches to the seem, with two brass-colored zippers on each side. Positioned on the hips and attached at the abdomen is a large adjustable belt with two buckles on each side of the tunic. Cadet rank insignia consisting of small black lozenges (diamond-shapes) are placed on the right side of a low-profile "standing collar;" the lozenges represent each year of the four-year education the future officer receives. A simplified black insignia of Corbulo Academy is placed on the left breast while a patch featuring the individual cadet's last name is positioned parallel with the top edge of the academy insignia. The trousers for the white service dress, featuring large black sections within the insides of the legs, have no visible utility function like the tunic. Polished black combat boots are the assigned footwear for the service uniform.


===Customs===
For combat training exercises, a pale khaki brown version of the uniform is worn, replacing the dark carbon grey section on the tunic and utilizing another pair of trousers in the lighter color. A training variant of the [[UNSC Marine Corps Battle Dress Uniform#Insurrection and early Human-Covenant War|standard body armor]] can be worn over this uniform. Somewhat smaller, lighter, and providing less coverage than the standard armor, the training armor carries the Academy's emblem on the chest plate, and features a [[Wikipedia:Pouch Attachment Ladder System|Pouch Attachment Ladder System]] on the stomach and back sections of the armor. It provides torso and upper and lower limb protection, and featured shoulder pauldrons similar to the later-introduced [[M52B body armor]].<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ca3Y8Ws3plI '''Youtube''' ''Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn Official Full-length Trailer'']</ref>
{{Quote|[[wikipedia:Axios (acclamation)|Axios!]]|An acclamation used by those at the school ([[Wikipedia:Greek language|Greek]] for "''I am worthy.''")}}
Unusually, the cadets in Corbulo Academy addressed their superiors as "sir" regardless of gender. In the mainline UNSC Armed Forces, female superiors are addressed as "ma'am".


====Uniforms and grooming standards====
Two shirts can be worn underneath the white service uniform. Most cadets wear a dark olive green t-shirt with a white academy insignia on the left breast and "CAMS," the academy's formal name abbreviation, written on the back; senior cadets wear a light azure blue variant while juniors and sophomores wear a medium/dark scarlet variant. This shirt can be worn separate of the tunic as personal wear and presumably for physical training and other rigorous activities. For stays in [[Cryonics|cryostasis]], a skin-tight carbon black suit featuring the cadet's last name on the collar is available, featuring a similar diagonal line pattern as the removable tunic panel and fits snug onto the body. For personal time in the dorms, cadets wear black trousers emblazoned with the "CAMS" initials on the upper left thigh. A black sports bra with white piping underneath the bust is issued to female cadets.

For combat training exercises, the cadets wore a jumpsuit largely similar to the service uniform in overall design. Like the service uniform, the jumpsuit was primarily white and similarly featured distinctly colored sections in the chest and legs, although the dark carbon gray in these sections was replaced by pale khaki brown. A training variant of the [[UNSC Marine Corps Battle Dress Uniform#Post-war BDU|standard body armor]] could be worn over this uniform. Somewhat smaller, lighter, and providing less coverage than the standard armor, the training armor carried the Academy's emblem on the chest plate, and featured a [[Wikipedia:Pouch Attachment Ladder System|Pouch Attachment Ladder System]] on the stomach and back sections of the armor.

Hair is worn in a conservative manner as is custom in most UNSC units. Males are seen with a traditional "military cut," with the hair evenly cut from the base to the top only exceeding a centimeter at the most. Sideburns are kept neatly trimmed, un-flared, and the base is a clean, horizontal line not exceeding the bottom of the earlobes. Males are not permitted to accrue excessive amounts of facial hair and are expected to be clean shaven. Though they may retain longer hair, while in uniform, females are required to maintain a hair style that does not exceed the top edge of the collar with most opting to wear their hair in braids or cornrows.

For stays in [[Cryonics|cryostasis]], a skin-tight carbon black suit featuring the cadet's last name on the collar was available, featuring a similar diagonal line pattern as the removable tunic panel and fit snug onto the body. During training exercises featuring cryo-sleep, the cryo-suit was typically not removed after the cadets were thawed out of cryo and the training jumpsuit and combat armor were worn over the suit until the exercise was over.

===Insurrection===
{{Main|Insurrection}}
At some point prior to the Human-Covenant War, Thomas Lasky's older brother, [[Cadmon Lasky]], trained at Corbulo. He became a favorite amongst the instructors there, which later resulted in Thomas Lasky being looked down upon by many for not living up to his brother's standards.
Prior to 2526, the teacher of logistics [[Harper Garvin]] defected to the [[United Rebel Front]].<ref>''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]'', Chapter 13</ref>
===Human-Covenant War===
{{Main|Human-Covenant War}}
During the opening days of the Human-Covenant War in [[2526]], [[ONI Section Two|ONI Section II]] kept the [[Covenant]] invasion secret from a large portion of the general population; this included Corbulo Academy's cadets and most of the school's personnel, although General Black was informed. As preparation for a possible attack, Black discreetly increased the readiness of the [[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marine]] garrison posted in the academy and authorized limited communications blackouts under the guise of routine maintenance procedures.

The surviving cadets were later reassigned to other OCS academies to finish their education. Lasky later joined the UNSC Navy as naval officer, flying fighter craft and retrained as a ship warfare officer, achieving the rank of [[Commander]] and became the Executive Officer of the {{Class|Infinity|supercarrier}} {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}. During the [[Battle of Requiem]], Lasky was reunited with the [[John-117|Master Chief]] and his decision to help the Master Chief against the [[Ur-Didact]] led to Lasky being promoted to [[Captain]] and being given command of the ''Infinity'' shortly before the [[New Phoenix Incident]]. Sullivan joined the Office of Naval Intelligence and was assigned to [[ONI Section One|Section One]] with the rank of commander after finishing school.
