The Coventry Military Academy Cadet Cadre was the training unit associated with the Coventry Military Academy.[1][2]
History
The Coventry Military Academy Cadet Cadre, formerly known as the Coventry Academy Cadet Cadre, was relatively small in the days when the Academy was known as just Coventry Academy. Its previous combat operations, if any, are unknown as this time. However, the unit was heavily involved in the defense of Coventry when Clan Jade Falcon invaded the world in 3058. The instructors and their students put up a spirited defense against the invaders though the campus of the Academy was nearly destroyed during the fighting. The Cadre would be driven from their campus, but survivors of the fighting would continue to resist the Falcons for the duration of the battle.[1][2]
In the years after the battle, Archon Katherine Steiner-Davion would extensively fund the reconstruction of the Academy and the Cadre. It would soon have state-of-the-art training equipment and newly built OmniMechs to educate new MechWarriors for the Cadre. Recruitment also for the facility was doubled as the student's exploits in the fighting against the Falcons inspired many promising recruits. It was after this reconstruction that the Academy official changed its name from Coventry Academy to Coventry Military Academy.[3]

Notes
The name of the unit in canon sources is confusing. Some sources refer to the unit as the Coventry Training Academy Cadet Cadre, but that does not match the name of the actual academy. Also, some sources refer to the unit as the Coventry Military Academy Cadet Cadre before the Academy changed its name from Coventry Academy to Coventry Military Academy.
