Corbulo Academy of Military Science
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Corbulo Academy, formally known as Corbulo Academy of Military Science, is an officer training school of the United Nations Space Command. [1] The academy is named after the Roman general Gnaeus Domitius Corbulo, honored by an interpretation of his likeness in the school's courtyard. [2]
History
Attacked
- Main article: Human-Covenant War
The school was attacked by the Covenant Empire during the war. Locally stationed UNSC Marines provided an initial defense of Corbulo Academy, with the Spartan supersoldier John-117 reinforcing the academy's garrison. Corbulo's officer cadets were caught off-guard by this attack, scattering into the surrounding areas, and many fought against the Covenant in close combat.
Customs
Uniforms
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 officer working 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. The tunic's main feature, a large carbon gray section, runs the length of the uniform and attaches to the seem, with two gold-colored zippers on each side. Positioned on the hips, and presumably attached to the large seem section, is a large adjustable belt with two buckles on each side of the tunic. Cadet rank insignia is placed on a low-profile "standing collar" and simple black epaulets. 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.
Underneath the white service uniform, 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. This shirt can be worn separate of the tunic as personal wear and presumably for physical training and other rigorous activities. Senior cadets wear a light azure blue variant of the shirt.
