Lietuvos kariuomenės karininkų rengimo ir jų kvalifikacijos kėlimo raida (1990–2015 m.)

ENDuring the Independence period, a perfect and effectively functioning Lithuanian military officers’ training system was developed. The General Jonas Žemaitis Military Academy of Lithuania, General Adolfas Ramanauskas Warfare Training Centre, Juozas Lukša Land Forces Training Center, MD Jonas Basanavičius Military Medical Service, Lithuanian Navy Training Center in Klaipėda and other units of the Lithuanian Armed Forces have been playing the biggest role in military officers’ training and training system development. Lithuanian military officers successfully study and train at foreign military education institutions. The Baltic Defence College and other military and defence colleges, courses for commanders and general staff officers assume a great role in training Lithuanian military and civil officers. Various long-term and short-term, continuous and temporary courses were established for further military officers’ training. The courses for younger military commanders are successful and productive. Such courses for higher school students have been organized at the Lithuanian Grand Duke Butigeidis Dragoon Battalion in Klaipėda, The General Jonas Žemaitis Military Academy of Lithuania in Vilnius and Division General Stasys Raštikis Lithuanian Armed Forces School in Kaunas. The Lithuanian Union of Reserve Officers, officers’ clubs, military press and others also participate in the training process. The system ensures military officer training of all levels and forms comprehensively educated military corps. [From the publication]
