Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Recruitment of Officers in Time of Peace in the Principal Armies of Europe Admission to the Ecole Speciale, at St. Cyr, is by competitive examination, the age limits being between 18 and 21. The students form a battalion of 6 companies. The course lasts 2 years, and the number of competitors is always large. The Ecole Polytechnique, in addition to the training of artillery and engineer candidates, supplies young men for the naval and state engineering departments, telegraphs, state factories, etc. Admission is by competitive examination, and the age limit as for St. Cyr (with certain exceptions in favor of soldiers). The course lasts two years. The Ecole d´Application, at Saumur, completes the education of young cavalry officers from St. Cyr, and the Ecole d´Application, at Fontainbleau, that of the young officers of artillery and engineers going from the Polytechnique. The course at the former establishment last 11 months, at the latter two years. The Ecole Militaire, at St. Maixent, completes the military instruction of "sous-officers" of the infantry and cavalry, who, in peace time, only receive commissions after passing the course with credit. Candidates must have at least two years´ service in the rank of "sous-officer" before being allowed to compete, and they have also to pass a preliminary examination at their regimental schools. Admission to the school is by competition, and the course lasts one year. Those who pass through it successfully are appointed sublieutenants. The Ecole Militaire at Versailles for noncommissioned officers of artillery and engineers is organized on similar lines. 3. Austria-Hungary. Officers for the Imperial Austro-Hungarian Army are recruited from two distinct sources - from the military schools and from the cadet corps. The schools or military academies - for so they might be called - are two in number, one at Neustadt, outside of Vienna, and the other in Vienna itself. The first provides officers for the infantry, cavalry, and pioneers, and the technical academy at Vienna for artillery and other engineer officers. The candidates for admission to these institutions must be between the ages of 18 and 21, and, after having undergone the course of instruction, are named by the Emperor to the position of lieutenant and assigned by the Minister of War in accordance with the needs of the service, although a choice is given them of the arm in which they desire to serve. The cadet schools are not exactly analogous to any of the schools heretofore mentioned, but are rather elementary in their nature. They take, as a rule, young men from 14 to 18 years of age.
