Certainly, here's a list of some regional colleges known for their support to active duty military personnel:

1. American Military University (AMU) & American Public University (APU): Both are part of the American Public University System. These universities particularly cater to military members by offering flexible online degree programs.

2. Excelsior College: This is an online institution that offers credit for military training based on American Council on Education (ACE) recommendations. It also provides various scholarships and tuition discounts for military personnel.

3. Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Worldwide: This is specifically geared towards those interested in aeronautical programs, but it offers a wide range of other programs too. They work with military students and help streamline credit for training.

4. Troy University: Known for its strong online degree programs, Troy University offers reduced tuition rates to active-duty military personnel, as well as their spouses and dependents.

5. University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC): Not only do they have a physical presence on military bases around the world, but they also offer an extensive range of online degree and certificate programs.

6. Central Texas College: Also well-known for their support to military students, this college offers reduced tuition for active duty military.
