On March 31 of 1900, Emperor Nicholas II approved the Regulations on the Opening of an Eight-Month Quartermaster’s Course in order to expand the knowledge of officers and officials of the Quartermaster’s Office and to prepare the necessary number of formation officers to fill administrative positions in the Quartermaster’s departments and establishments. On November 22 of 1911, its renaming into the Quartermaster’s Academy was approved. From the beginning of its formation until 1917, the Quartermaster’s Academy trained more than 500 intendant officers. In March of 1918, the Quartermaster’s Academy was transformed into the Military Administrative Academy of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army.
Since December of 1940, the Military Administrative Academy was renamed into the Intendant Academy. After the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War, the Academy was relocated to Tashkent. During the same period, the Academy was involved in the performance of tasks to ensure the combat activity of troops within the rear borders of the South-Western Front and thereby, by the Directive of the General Staff, was attributed to the composition of the active army. By the order of the People's Commissariat of Defense of the USSR No 0700 of September 11, 1942, the Academy was reorganized into the Military Academy of Logistics and Supply. During the war years, the Military Academy of Logistics and Supply and the Military Transport Academy trained more than 13 thousand qualified specialists of logistics and transport. The academy's students held responsible command and engineering positions on all fronts of the Great Patriotic War.
Graduates of the Academy honestly and courageously fulfilled and hold on fulfilling their international duty in Cuba, Angola and Lebanon, Algeria and Vietnam, South Ossetia and Syria. In 1956, the Military Academy of Logistics and Supply and the Military Transport Academy merged, and the unified Military Academy of Logistics and Transport was created, with its location in Leningrad. In 2012, the academy was renamed into Order of Lenin General of the Army A. Khrulev Military Academy of Materiel and Technical Security.
The Academy was awarded the Order of Lenin in 1968 and the Order of Kutuzov in 2019.
The postage stamp features the building of the General of the Army A. Khrulev Military Academy of Materiel and Technical Security, the banner of the Academy, the Order of Kutuzov and the Order of Lenin.
