Records of the
Union Military Academy
The Union Military Academy was established to train, educate, and prepare the legions of volunteers seeking to preserve the Union and put down the wicked Rebellion by the southern states. During its time in operation, UMA graduated hundreds of officers into the ranks of the ACWGC. Listed below are those who entered and graduated from UMA through the years. UMA was replaced by the ACWGC Training Academy in 2023.
​
Note that the records from 1997 to 2000 are incomplete. Every effort has been made to correctly label each Union member but certain information has been lost over the years.
