Editing Luxembourg Armed Forces (section)

=== Officers ===
Those who have completed high school will enter a special thirteen-week basic training in the Army as warrant officers, then attend the military officer school for five years (normally in Brussels, Belgium), before becoming a lieutenant in the Luxembourg Armed Forces.

Aspiring officers are sent to the Belgian [[École Royale Militaire]] in Brussels, or the [[Ecole Spéciale Militaire de Saint-Cyr]] in France. After the first two years at these schools, officer-cadets receive the title of lieutenant.<ref name=":2">{{cite web|url=http://www.armee.lu/recrutement_carriere/officier/engagement_formation_nomination.php |title=Officiers de carrière: Engagement – Formation – Nomination |language=fr |trans-title= |website=Armee.lu |publisher=Armée luxembourgeoise / Gouvernment du Grand-Duché de Luxembourg |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714115052/http://www.armee.lu/recrutement_carriere/officier/engagement_formation_nomination.php |archive-date=14 July 2014}}</ref>

After leaving military academy, officer candidates become probationary officers for a period of twenty-four months.<ref name=":2" /> The probation period consists of specialised military-branch training at a school abroad, and practical service within one of the Army's units. If they succeed during this probation, their appointment as lieutenants is made permanent.<ref name=":2" />
