Corbulo Academy of Military Science

Corbulo Academy of Military Science (CAMS) is an officer training school of the United Nations Space Command and is commanded by General Black. Established during the height of the Insurrection, Corbulo Academy trains the children of high-ranking officials within the government and military to become commissioned officers of the colonies. The academy is named after the Roman general Gnaeus Domitius Corbulo, honored by an interpretation of his likeness in the school's courtyard.

Attacked
The school was attacked by the Covenant Empire during the war. Locally stationed UNSC Marines provided an initial defense of Corbulo Academy, with the Spartan supersoldier John-117 reinforcing the academy's garrison. Corbulo's officer cadets were caught off-guard by this attack, scattering into the surrounding areas, and many fought against the Covenant in close combat.

Uniforms
For "everyday" occasions such as classes and personal time, the cadets at Corbulo Academy wear a white service uniform featuring a similar cut to the Navy's officer working dress. It is a relatively simple uniform compared to the advanced uniforms seen in use by the active-duty forces, though incorporates a professional appearance and a moderate aspect of utility for field use. As with many uniforms throughout the UNSC military, there are no distinctions between the uniforms worn by male and female cadets. The uniform is a form-fitting ensemble and does not include any known headdress. The tunic's main feature, a large carbon gray section, runs the length of the uniform and attaches to the seem, with two brass-colored zippers on each side. Positioned on the hips and attached at the abdomen is a large adjustable belt with two buckles on each side of the tunic. Cadet rank insignia is placed on the right side of a low-profile "standing collar." A simplified black insignia of Corbulo Academy is placed on the left breast while a patch featuring the individual cadet's last name is positioned parallel with the top edge of the academy insignia. The trousers for the white service dress, featuring large black sections within the insides of the legs, have no visible utility function like the tunic. Polished black combat boots are the assigned footwear for the service uniform.

Two shirts can be worn underneath the white service uniform. Most cadets wear a dark olive green t-shirt with a white academy insignia on the left breast and "CAMS," the academy's formal name abbreviation, written on the back; senior cadets wear a light azure blue variant. This shirt can be worn separate of the tunic as personal wear and presumably for physical training and other rigorous activities. For stays in cryostasis, a skin-tight carbon black shirt featuring the cadet's last name on the collar is available, featuring a similar diagonal line pattern as the removable tunic panel.

Hair is worn in a conservative manner as is custom in most UNSC units. Males are seen with a traditional "military cut," with the hair evenly cut from the base to the top only exceeding a centimeter at the most. Though they may retain longer hair, while in uniform, females are required to maintain a hair style that does not exceed the top edge of the collar with most opting to wear their hair in braids or cornrows.

Production notes
While a fictional setting within the Halo universe, Corbulo Academy was filmed on-location at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. SFU is a popular filming location for many notable science fiction series such as Stargate SG-1 and Battlestar Galactica and served as a principal location for production of Forward Unto Dawn.
