The '''Isaiah Mackenzie Naval Academy (IMNA)''' has served the Sword and [[Grayson]] for generations.
'''Isaiah Mackenzie Naval Academy is the premier training facility for The [[Grayson Space Navy]] and is a division of the [[Bureau of Training]]. They offer a wide variety of courses in several different subjects. The faculty of the Academy are continually working to improve current curriculum and to develop new and exciting courses for the students to take.  
With the move to our new facility at Alvarez Field, just thirty minutes by aircar from Harrington City,
[[Steading]] of Harrington, we now have the means to train the [[Steader]]s of [[Grayson]] not only to modern
Alliance standards, but to train those same individuals to lead the charge in the technological
race against all future enemies using the time honored methods of hands on training and the usage
of the best simulators currently available anywhere in known space.
 
'''IMNA''' is split into multiple sub-schools grouped into departments and centers for ease of administration.
The campus itself is quite large, using the [[Grayson]] tendency to spread out. Most of the
campus, including the [[Captain Mark A. West Memorial Stadium]] where the Academy’s Baseball team
plays, is under a dome built exclusively for the school’s use. Adjacent to the Academy is [[Alvarez Field]]
itself, where the [[Grayson Space Navy]] has a facility and landing field.
 
The faculty of the Academy are continually working to improve current curriculum and to develop
new and exciting courses for the students to take. Currently the Academy is split into the following
two curricula: Career Advancement, and Skills Development and Verification.

Organization and Mandate

IMNA was formed as a part of BuTrain in 2008 per Protector's Order 0901-14. This established the creation of the first liaison from the GSN to the Bureau of Training. Similar to the Saganami Island Naval Academy, it's mandate is to first provide organizational and leadership training that is required for promotion in ranks within the GSN. It's secondary mandate is to promote study and learning in science, engineering, math, history, military history and space exploration.

The following is the established organizational structure of IMNA:


Enlisted Training Center

As the Spacer progresses in rank, they learn additional skills such as leadership and management. Students learn about military history, Grayson standard knowledge, and practical information needed to perform their jobs. The IMNA Enlisted Training Center is further divided into:

  • Junior Enlisted Training School
  • Senior Enlisted Training School

Officer Training Center

At the IMNA Officer Training Center, lessons learned earlier in the Spacer’s career are used as the basis of the change and additional information, knowledge, and leadership skills are included in the curriculum. The IMNA Officer Training Center is further divided into:

IMNA War College

The Grayson Technical Specialties Center
