Summary/Abstract: The article provides the analyses of the officer’s core and training of the recruits that belonged to the armoured branch of the Yugoslav People’s Army in the period between 1945 and 1991. There were several phases in the development of the education and training of cadres within JNA, mostly related to the current international position of Socialist Yugoslavia during the Cold War. From initial training with the British Army in Mediterranean and Italy, over the longer period of training and education in the Soviet Union, to the development of the original Yugoslav education and training methodology in Military Academy, Belgrade and Armoured Units Training Centre in Banja Luka, by the beginning of the 1950s and which lasted up to the break-up of Yugoslavia in 1991-1992. The article is written upon the author’s research on the original archival documentation of the Armoured Units Department, III Organisational and IV training Department of the Yugoslav General Staff, which kept in Military Archive Belgrade but still regarded as classified.
