  Royal Military Academy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Royal Military Academy (RMA) at Woolwich, in south-east London, was a British Army military academy for the training of commissioned officers of the Royal Artillery and Royal Engineers.
A second academy, known as the Royal Military College (RMC), was opened at Sandhurst, Berkshire in 1799 to train officers for the infantry and cavalry.
The Royal Military Academy Sandhurst opened in 1947 as an amalgamation of both institutions.

 Welcome to the The Royal Military Academy
In two cases, officers already start in the RMA with part of their specialised training: that is the case for prospective pilots and deck officers and technical officers of the Navy.
The military training in the RMA is concentrated in two periods of military camp in every academic year: one period of two or three weeks in January, and a second period of four weeks in July.
At the RMA students are lent more than a helping hand: the available possibilities offered by the curriculum, sports infrastructure, coaching and the whole culture of education at the academy are evidently of overriding importance for the result.

 Esbjorn Larsson: Stanford Research Communication Program
During this period, military officers had a prominent position in society, and the three most important factors for securing a military career were nobility, personal relationships to high military officials, and money.
In the 1850s and 1860s, the Royal War Academy went through several major changes, and in 1867 it became known as the Royal Military Academy and was the only school that graduated army officers.
Important in this context is the change of the military's role in society, from being almost synonymous with the state in the Gustavian era, to being reduced to just one of several branches of the state apparatus during the 19th century.
