Royal Military College, Duntroon (RMC Duntroon) is Australia's military academy where Staff Cadets train for commissioning into the Australian Army. RMC Duntroon was established at Canberra in June 1911 under the command of Brigadier General William Throsby Bridges. The College was moved from Canberra as a cost-saving measure in 1930 but returned to the capital in 1936. In addition to training regular officer cadets, the College also oversees the programme for training officers in the Australian Army Reserve. These reservists join a University Regiment and undertake a number of training modules run by the various University Regiments around Australia.
