To give an over-all picture, also contains all identified schools of the Sovi e , it Force and the Soviet Navy. Training insti- tutions for non-commissioned officers are only referred to if they are officially designated as "schools". The few training regiments which have been identified since World War II are, therefore, also excluded. Non-commissioned officer can.- didai;es ..:o usually trained in training units of the combat units. Only non.-commissioned officer candidates of the special branches of service, such as tank troops and signal troops, receive a four-to eight-month course in training regiments or at NCO schools in the Soviet Union, The identification of numerous milit ary schools dates back as far as the fall of l945a It is therefore doubted that all theoe schools are still in existence as several may have been dissolved in 1946 in connection with the demobilization. As some schools which moved farther to the east during the war later : harned to their previous locations in the western mili- tary districts, some may have been recorded twice. 3. Numerous schools may not have been identified because this 25X1 was insufficiently supplied with Soviet newspapers. al number of listed schools may come near the actual number as there may be some schools which are recorded twice, some tit ,kern dissolved, and. ??~;1;;~ s that are still unlmown.
