The Academy was thrice highly decorated with state awards: the Order of Lenin in 1938, the Order of Suvorov of the 1-st Class in 1945, and the Order of the October Revolution in 1970. Nowadays, the Military Academy trains officers of command and engineering specializations capable of operating sophisticated modern equipment and ready to apply it in any conditions.
