Realism, discipline, and command readiness
Every recruit enters the same foundation phase before division consideration. Performance is observed continuously by Training Officers, with emphasis on order execution, composure, radio discipline, tactical awareness, and willingness to operate as part of a larger fleet.
The Foundation
Standard duration for all recruits. Week 1 focuses on core discipline, operational language, and the NSC way of moving, speaking, fighting, and recovering as a unit.
Induction & Comms
NSC Automated System, rank structure, radio brevity, and NATO phonetic alphabet.
Infantry Fundamentals
Tactical movement, stacking, room clearing, trigger discipline, and cross-sector awareness.
Flight & Logistics
Takeoff, landing, flight corridors, docking discipline, and shipboard logistics.
Survival & Medical
Field triage, hazards, casualty movement, and emergency extraction.
Combat Trial
A live-fire evaluation under pressure with orders, comms, and adaptive execution.
Performance determines the path
At the end of Week 1, Training Officers assess conduct, skill progression, responsiveness, and reliability. The gate decides whether the recruit advances, receives additional instruction, or is discharged from the program.
Immediate Graduation
High-performing recruits proceed directly to Division Selection.
Extended Training
Weeks 2-3 target flight school, tactical maneuvering, or comms discipline.
Discharge
Recruits who cannot meet baseline standards are released from the program.
Division Selection
NSC placement is based on demonstrated performance. Recruits may apply for a preferred role, but Command Staff makes the final assignment according to observed capability and fleet need.

The oath and assignment
