First seen in [[Legion of Lawndale Heroes]] 12.1, "[[The Wild and The Young]]", '''The United States Academy of Extranormal Studies''' is a military academy just outside the city of Evansville, Indiana (in Vanderburgh County), which was founded for the purpose of training young persons with metahuman abilities for career opportunities in the U.S. Armed Forces, various organizations in the United States Government (as well as state and local agencies), and (for trainees hailing from eligible nations) the ability to serve their respective homelands in similar venues. The Academy is divided into two sections; the ''First Academy'' (which provides primary- and secondary-level educational studies to cadets between the ages of ten to nineteen) and the ''Elite Academy'' (which is a fully-accredited collegiate-level institution)
 
CadetThe Academy is divided into two sections; the 's'First Academy'' (which provides primary- and secondary-level educational studies areto cadets between the ages of ten to nineteen) and the ''Elite Academy'' (which is a fully-accredited collegiate-level institution) Cadets have their Academy studies divided into three 'tracks': ''Academic, Active Service'' (studies and on-hands training directly related to their stated occupations or further academic studies after graduation) and ''Metahuman Studies'' (training directly related to their metahuman abilities or preternatural skills). The ''First Academy'' provides a world-class educational experience that will allow the successful cadet to pursue academic opportunities at any academic institution he or she sees fit to pursue, or begin a career in any potential entry-level area of national or military service (which the cadet will be able to rapidly advance through). The ''Elite Academy'' provides a number of majors that will award cadets degrees in either Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts upon completion of their studies, as well as commissions into the United States Armed Forces (as active-duty officers, members of the National Guard of their destined state, or as members of the Reserve of their chosen branch of military service). In addition, the Academy offers minors in non-traditional areas of study (for a military institution) in keeping with the nature of the Academy's mandate towards preparing cadets for not just careers in service, but of a civilian nature after their service obligation has been fulfilled.
 
The majority of graduating cadets are commissioned as either Ensigns or Second Lieutenants; however, because of exemplary achievement and service during their time at the ''Elite Academy'' (as well as during the one year 'internship year' all cadets serve as Cadets Third Class), some cadets are commissioned as Lieutenants Junior Grade or First Lieutenants. In addition, cadets who have distinguished themselves with extraordinary achievements in special certifications within their metahuman service tracks (for example, being awarded the ''Healer/Medical Practitioner'' certification in the ''USAES Enhanced Lifeform and Medical Studies Program'') can be commissioned with enhanced rank; it is a tradition to commission ''Healer/Medical Practitioner''-certified USAES cadets as Captains or Lieutenants Senior Grade (as they are fully qualified to be stationed in medical facilities and work as corpsmen or combat medics, or can proceed immediately to medical school).
