Located in Zossen (in Tasnica), GAMA has the largest campus of any college in the Web, including sizable proving grounds in the Upperlands forest. The GA needs to balance its need for a lot of officers and a desire to be elite. Most GAMA applicants come from the GA NCO pool, and anyone applying out of high school had better have a fantastic record. GAMA has the most grueling regimen of any college in the Web. Classes are 14 hours a day. Although the program is four years, there is no summer vacation. The first two years are largely introductory and cover a wide range of liberal arts and scientific subjects designed to give every GA officer a broad base of knowledge. The students intended path of service is declared Junior year and has to go through intensive theoretical training. The Senior year is known as the "Fun" year where students fight simulated battles under near combat conditions. Upperclassmen often spend a semester serving as they would a full-fledged GA officer in a Replacement Army garrison. Only very quiet garrisons receive these cadets; after all, upon graduation a cadet is assigned to the Replacement Army to be drilled even further before joining a GA front line unit. Typical waiting time with the Replacements before being sent to the front line regiments is two years. Students taking up a career in SAGA actually serve a tour on a ship or Sentry station as part of training. There is the so-called fifth year of training given to officers being considered for the rank of Colonel, and often offered to prominent officers in Web militaries. This focuses on strategy at the regimental level and above, including interdimensional strategy. Many courses are taught by famous GA Generals from time to time, including Rimmel Coward, Model Steinmetz, Torstensson Lenart, and, rarely, Celiose Cole. The GAMA Reggies (short for `Regulars`, a throwback to the time most of the GA was Regulars) have a rivalry with the SRAN`s academy, the Eagles.
