Saganami Island Naval Academy is the premier training facility for The Royal Manticoran Navy and the Royal Manticoran Marine Corps. They offer a wide variety of courses in several different subjects. The Saganami Island Academy is constantly working to provide new subjects and areas of study.

Organization and Mandate

SIA was formed as a part of BuTrain in 2008 per Admiralty Order 0801-05. It's mandate is to first provide organizational and leadership training that is required for promotion in ranks within the RMN. It's secondary mandate is to promote study and learning in science, engineering, math, history, military history and space exploration.


Currently Saganami Island Academy offers courses in several different areas

Enlisted Training Center

The SIA Enlisted Training Center is a basic introduction to the Honorverse as well as a basic introduction to the The Royal Manticoran Navy: The Official Honor Harrington Fan Association, Inc.. The Enlisted Academy is divided into three sections, Basic Enlisted School, Non-Commissioned Officer School, and Advanced Non-Commissioned Officer School.

  • The Basic Enlisted School is designed to be a true introductory course. All members, upon joining are required to take the E-1 Basic course. This simple course gives you a good introduction to the Honorverse.
  • The Non-Commissioned Officer School is designed to begin your training as a leader and manager. It will introduce, in very broad terms, some basic leadership concepts and management ideas.
  • The Advanced Non-Commissioned Officer School will further your education as a leader and manager.

Officer Training Center

The SIA Officer Training Center designed to teach leadership, management and tactics.

  • The SIA Warrant Officers School is designed to advance Senior Non-Comms who deserve and have earned the chance for more command responsibility and furthers the leadership advanced by the Non-Comm Section of the Enlisted Academy.
  • The Junior Officer School trains the first three levels of Officer. These courses focus on basic management and leadership. In addition to this, there is a management course which serves as an intro to the next school.
  • The Senior Officer School trains the next three levels of Officer. These courses focus on more advanced management and leadership techniques. In addition there will also be courses on tactics introduced at this level.
  • Staff Officers School (RMMC Personnel Only) - The Staff Officers School is exclusive to the RMMC at the moment and is only available to individuals who have passed the qualifying courses and have been nominated by a Colonel or above. This is an extremely hard set of exams which will really stretch your ability to provide a well thought out and reasoned answer to some of the hardest questions faced during operations planning.

Saganami Island Naval Academy War College

The SIA War College trains the Flag Officers, including the Captains of the List. These courses focus directly on advanced management, leadership and tactics.

Advanced Tactical Center

The Saganami Island Advanced Tactical Center houses the Naval Tactical Simulator and is the final School in an Officer's Training and is part of the Naval SIA War College. It is designed with the intent of teaching tactics and good commanding officer role playing and as such is open to every Commanding and Executive Officer of Destroyers (DD) and above.

Technical Specialties College

The SIA Technical Specialties College is where you learn more about your various ship-board divisions and systems. The Technical Specialties College includes eight departments: Administration, Logistics, Tactical, Engineering, Communications, Astrogation, and Medical. For marines these courses will help the marine specialize in Rifleman, Embassy Guard, Assault Marine, etc. These courses are recommended for both Enlisted and Officers as they will help you understand your division better, especially for role play, which is partially what the courses are designed for.
