Platoon leaders would issue commands to individuals in the platoon, whereas commanders would issue commands to platoons. Commanders appointed platoon leaders, and were in charge of training the privates. The staff at the academy decided who was to become a commander. Platoons contained five privates, including the leader, and armies had a total of twenty privates. The armies in the Officer Academy consisted of a hierarchy of privates, platoon leaders, and commanders.

The daily regimen for a student would consist of several rigorous classes in mathematics, history, and science, and then several hours set aside to training in the "Battle Room", an advanced simulator in which two or more "armies" would stage mock battles. The academy was not affiliated with the Republic government or Corulag's planetary government it was a proprietary private training school. The Corulag Officer Academy was an installation on Corulag that trained young recruits to be officers in the Republic Navy (that is, local space militias that were used by member systems of the Republic prior to the Clone Wars).
