The Royal Military Academy Sandhurst
The library at Sandhurst is not open to the general public. The Naval & Military Press has been publishing selected titles since 2003 and continues to uncover gems from its vast archive. The Royal Military Academy Sandhurst (RMAS), commonly known simply as Sandhurst, is the British Army officer initial training centre.
Its stated aim is to be "...the national centre of excellence for leadership".
All British Army officers, including late entry officers who were previously Warrant Officers, as well as many from elsewhere in the world, are trained at Sandhurst. Nearly 10 percent of British cadets are female and nearly 10 percent of all cadets come from overseas.
The Academy opened its doors in 1947 in the former Royal Military College (RMC) at Sandhurst. The Academy straddles the border between the counties of Berkshire and Surrey, marked by a small stream known as the Wish Stream, after which the Academy journal is named.
