Order of the People's Commissar of Defense on the 25th Anniversary of the Frunze Military Academy

Today the M.V. Frunze Military Academy marks its 25th anniversary.

Throughout its existence, the Academy has trained tens of thousands of qualified commanders for the Red Army. Graduates of the Academy have demonstrated excellent military knowledge and organizational abilities on the battlefields of the Great Patriotic War. Many of them have risen to the highest command positions and have been awarded high government decorations.

For its outstanding service in training command cadres for the Red Army, I congratulate the Academy's teaching staff, students, and all its personnel on this glorious anniversary.
