The United Earth Forces Military Academy was an institution established by the United Earth Forces military in the years after the Rain of Death. It was responsible for the training of recruits for the United Earth Government's military units. Fifteen years after the end of the First Robotech War, one of its graduating classes had completed its training who were ready to carry on the traditions of the officers and crew of the SDF-1 Macross.
