The STARFLEET Marine Corps Marine Training Center
Originally named the Starfleet Marine Corps Academy, the Marine Training Center was established by Commander, Starfleet in 2164 when it was determined that Starfleet Academy could no longer adequately meet the needs of both services. The historical home of the United States’ Navy and Marine Corps academies, Annapolis, Maryland, was selected as the new home of the SFMCA. The head of the Academy, known as DCO-Academy, TRACOM, is still headquartered at the main campus in Annapolis.
The motto of the MTC is “Facta Non Verba” or, in Federation Standard, “Deeds not Words.” This is reflected in the more informal academy slogan, “We lead by example… whether we mean to or not.” The DCO-Academy, TRACOM reports to the Commanding Officer of the Training Command (COTRACOM) who, in addition to the MTC, oversees branch schools, enlisted personnel training, advanced technical schools, and periodic skill re-fresher courses. Most of these courses are held either at one of the SFMCA facilities, or at one of the many training facilities in the New Valley Forge system which is home to TRACOM.
