In most of the countries included in this study, the military is led by a select group within the officer corps—graduates of the military academy— notwithstanding the fact that they constitute a minority within the officer corps. The vast majority of officers are graduates of civilian universities or enlisted personnel who earn their commission from officer candidate schools. The pre-eminence of academy graduates (a cause of dissatisfaction among non-academy officers) fulfills the vision of the founding fathers of the military academies, which is to train a core of professional officers—an officer class, as King Chulalongkorn envisaged in nineteenth century Siam (Sukunya 1991)—to serve as the nucleus and driving force of the armed forces. Put another way, academy graduates lead the armed forces because they are expected to. Furthermore, many academy alumni remain active in government or politics after they retire from the military. In the last two decades, military or police academy graduates have attained the highest office of the land: President Susilo Bambang Yudyohono of Indonesia, Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra1 of Thailand (not to mention nine others before him), and former President Fidel V. Ramos of the Philippines. If academy alumni are to lead the armed forces, and possibly the government itself, there is a case to be made for seeking a better understanding of how future leaders are trained with a view towards improving the training process. This study aims to derive different perspectives of training from five military academies: the National Defense Academy of Japan (NDA), the Chulachomklao Royal Military Academy of Thailand (CRMA), the Military Academy of Indonesia (AKMIL), the Military Academy of Malaysia (MAM), and the Philippine Military Academy (PMA). Occasional references to academies in the United States and Australia are also made. It is hoped that multiple perspectives of training can improve objectivity and yield “best practices” that may help academies attain their goals more effectively as well as suggest solutions to some common problems, such as bullying.
