Vzdělávání příslušníků ekonomické služby Armády České republiky od roku 1919 do současnosti

Abstract

The aim of the article is to analyse the development of the education of the members of the economic service of the Army of the Czech Republic from 1919 to the present. The beginnings of the education of economic service specialists are connected with the establishment of Czechoslovakia and the Czechoslovak Army in 1919 and the operation of the French mission in Czechoslovakia. The development was interrupted by the Germanoccupation. In 1953, the military schools were reformed. A major reorganisation of the system, including the education of the economic service, was reformed in 1970. With partial changes, the new system functioned until the division of Czechoslovakia in 1993. In 2004, a change was made to the military education system in connection with the reduction of the number of professional soldiers, the end of military basic service and the professionalization of the ACR. The article introduces the reader to the development of education, the establishment and dissolution of military schools, the conditions and length of study, the subjects studied and the changes that have taken place during the defined years. This is the first comprehensive material dealing with the history of education of specialists of the economic service of the Army of the Czech Republic.
