Instead of five, four. Defense Ministry for the year reduced the training program for infantry officers
“In 2018, an experiment was completed on a four-year cadet training program. He was declared successful - from next year, all the combined-arms commanders will study a year less than before. In military universities, where they master complex technical specialties, the period of study will remain the same - five years, ”the newspaper told the military department.
It is reported that in April, the rank of lieutenant received two categories of graduates: "those who studied last year out of five, and those who have already been transferred to a four-year program of study." All in all, this spring, the schools of the Ground Forces graduated from about 2 thousand officers - approximately 3 times more than a year earlier.
The publication reminds that a four-year system of vocational military education was formed in the Soviet Union.
According to him, a unique system of training lieutenants has been created in domestic military high schools: “even with a relatively low initial base, schools produce competent specialists.” The expert added that "in the trenches there is no need to write essays and calculate integrals - the commander must lead people into battle, skillfully lead them and know the technique."
