ENFrom the beginning the military mission of Entente states, and especially the French, closely followed the establishment and operation of Lithuania military schools. French military mission on 15 January, 1919 developed and offered the curriculum of the military school for the future military officers. However, in compliance to Defence Minister’s issued order on January 25, 1919 Nr. 20 the first Commandant of the first military school Jonas Galvydis - Bykauskas and his assistant officer Pranas Tvarona were appointed and they implemented only the general educational part into the training program. The training of Future officers was mainly carried out in accordance to the situation which dictated their own training program. Herein, Russian imperial military training system was dominantly influencing it. Despite the fact that the school authorities rejected the offer of the French military training mission, however, the French influence was obviously felt in the field of physical education training program. In turn, Lithuanian officers trying to pass practical experience gained in battles for future military officers reached very good results, which impressed not only foreign officers, but also provided greater confidence in themselves. At the end of fights for independence the transition to peacetime life was the beginning of a debate about the preparedness of Lithuanian officers in peacetime, about the duration of their education and other relevant issues. These and other questions were supposed to be tackled by special commission in compliance to the order issued in April of 1921 by Defence Minister Jonas Šimkus.In the preparation of the 1924-25 school year program Colonel Černoveckis was instructed to prepare the material according to the German and French military school lives. At that time Lithuanian army was gradually increasing the number of officers who were graduating Czechoslovakia, Germany, France, Austria, Italy, and Belgium General Staff Academy. Officers who had completed foreign academies teaching in Lithuanian military school conveyed not only academic knowledge obtained in foreign schools but also introduced many innovations, which essentially determined Lithuanian military school’s further development according to the West European military schools model. It is important to underline that Lithuanian military school did not blindly copy any one of the Western military training systems but attempted to take and adapt the best experience relevant for Lithuania. In this way, gradually a unique Lithuanian officer training school was formed which best combined the military training elements of the Russian Empire and Western European traditions.
