During the [[Russian Civil War|Civil War]] the commander cadres were trained at the [[General Staff Academy (Russian Empire)|Nicholas General Staff Academy]] of the Russian Empire, which became the [[Frunze Military Academy]] in the 1920s. Senior and supreme commanders were trained at the Higher Military Academic Courses, renamed the Advanced Courses for Supreme Command in 1925. The 1931 establishment of an Operations Faculty at the Frunze Military Academy supplemented these courses. The [[Military Academy of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Russia|General staff Academy]] was reinstated on 2 April 1936, and became the principal military school for the senior and supreme commanders of the Red Army.<ref>{{Harvnb | Schofield | 1991 | pp = 67–70}}.</ref>
