The Royal Military Academy ({{langx|nl|Koninklijke Militaire Academie}} or KMA) is the service academy for the Dutch Army, the Dutch Air Force and the Royal Marechaussee. Located in Breda, Southern Netherlands, the KMA has trained future officers since 1828.
Description
The KMA offers a programme of study which lasts four or five years, depending on the academic major cadets choose.{{cite web |url=http://www.nlda.nl/content/php/index.php?id=1010&lang=NL&cat_id=3&pad2=Militair-wetenschappelijke+opleiding&imgvar=kma&st=Koninklijke+Militaire+Academie |title=Defensieacademie (NLDA) |author=Ministerie van Defensie |website=www.nlda.nl}} Academic programmes have changed significantly during its history. In today's programme cadets are awarded a bachelor's degree upon graduation and commissioned in the Royal Netherlands Army, the Royal Netherlands Air Force or the Royal Marechaussee.
