As the Army School of Command and Leadership, the
Saint-Cyr Coetquidan Military Academy trains prospective officers whom the French Army will need in its
operational commitments. It provides a demanding and
unique multidisciplinary teaching which includes military, human and academic training. The cadets are actively involved in their training and gradually acquire the
technical, tactical and social skills that will constitute the
foundation for the analysis and decision-making abilities
required in complex and critical circumstances.
In this modern and progressive institution, military expertise is at the core of the training, whose vocation is
to produce military leaders with great tactical skills, able
to defeat the adversary. To that purpose, the training is
largely based on the lessons learnt from the French Army’s current operational commitments.
While focusing on the military profession, the academic courses are supplemented
by scholar research. It provides prospective officers with the keys to understanding
the complex situations they will have to evolve in. It also contributes to their intellectual development, essential to future decision-makers who will have to imagine the
solutions to tomorrow’s challenges.
As a school open to the world, the academy has secured diverse partnerships – with
universities, military and scientific institutions, nation- and worldwide – in order
to develop a culture of defence tailored to today’s world, and to anticipate future
threats. They are involved in the review process set out by the Ministry of Defence on
the evolution of conflict situations. Indeed, they recently took part in cyber security
and cyber defence research, thanks, in particular, to the contributions of its research
centre.
In this guide, you will find all the elements necessary to understand the inner workings of the teaching and training given at the Saint-Cyr Coetquidan Military Academy. I hope you find it interesting.
Brigadier Antoine Windeck,
Commandant of the Saint-Cyr Coetquidan Military Academy

The School of command and leadership
As the Army’s School of Command and Leadership, the mission of the Saint-Cyr
Coëtquidan Military Academies is to enable prospective officers to command in
challenging circumstances, whatever the combat situation they may face. The
necessary skills are thus three-fold :
 to cope with complex situations ,
 to make decisions regardless of uncertainty ;
 to take action in a hostile environment.
With that aim in mind, the School of Command
and Leadership is dedicated to providing future
officers not only with basic technical and tactical
knowledge, but also with behavioral qualities
and intellectual skills that will enable young
officers to become decision-makers and take up
tomorrow’s challenges.
 to cope with complex situations
 to make decisions regardless of
uncertainy
 to take action in a hostile environment
A regulary updated expertise
With the ongoing emergence of new global patterns, the armed forces are faced
with an ever-changing environment.
Using its lessons learned system, the Saint-Cyr-Coëtquidan Military Academies are
intent on catering for the needs of the Army. Accordingly, training courses undergo
constant and forward-looking reviews.
Academic contributions made by the CREC (the Coëtquidan research centre) allow
for top-quality teaching standards. Research is divided into 4 main specialist areas :
 Ethics and legal environment
 European defence and security
 Global action and land forces
 Defence science and technology
The broadening and tightening of research networks, together with the action of the
Saint-Cyr Foundation, are great incentives for research programs.
Strategic development :
 high level education ;
 Continious adaptation to the needs ;
 Pro active and recognized at world level ;
 Partneship and opening to the others ;
 Research ;
 Standards of quality ;
 Adapted means and facilities.

A school training all the officers
Indeed, it stands as the breeding ground for all officers, whatever their way of
entry (direct nominations or late-entry commissions), their career plans (shortterm or long-term), their status (active duty or reserve force), or their prospective
specialist branch (command, support, service support).
Furthermore, the mission of the Academy extends beyond the Army per se, insofar as officers from other corps also receive training here – Gendarmerie Nationale, POL Service, or Medical Corps and also students from other schools of
higher education (Polytechnique, HEC, IEP...).
A group of Academies

« To the glory
of Saint-Cyr »
History of Saint-Cyr Coëtquidan Military Academies
Founded by Bonaparte (then a Consul) on 1 May 1802, the « Ecole Spéciale Militaire » left Fontainebleau on 24 March 1808 to a new site at Saint-Cyr near Paris,
which gave it its name. Activation of the School was part of an extensive project,
whose purpose was to provide the State with competent executives trained to
ensure safe management and stability of the French society that emerged from a
large-scale revolutionary upheaval ; another purpose was to reconstruct a body
of officers disrupted by political crises and conflicts since 1789.
Disbanded in 1815, the School was again activated in 1817, and
was adapted to a new political and social context. The recruiting
process was modified, based on competitive examinations and
recruitment from the La Flèche military school, which at the time
was attended by young aristocrats loyal to King Charles X.
The monarchy issued from the 1830 revolution was a landmark
in the sense that all cadets were now recruited through competitive examination. Also, recruitment covered a broader social
spectrum, and the “ Special School ” thus built its traditions in
spite of the diverse political regimes, from the Second Republic
to the Second Empire, with occasionally unruly and rebellious
students, who nevertheless were submitted to strict, and even
very formalist and repetitive, teaching methods.
The 1870-1871 crushing defeat was a decisive turning point
concerning the Academy and French forces, who realized they
had to question themselves and their skills and doctrines. Then
with the help of a strictly selected teaching staff, emphasis was
laid on scientific subjects, and attention given to theoretical as
well as practical aspects, with large-scale exercises organized in
the field. The level of examinations improved, and the best students were then taken in, so that the “ École Spéciale ” became a
breeding ground producing a body of officers who fought victoriously throughout the First World War in spite of very
heavy losses. As it was, Saint-Cyr classes were particularly
affected, distinctively the “ Montmirail ” class who lost half
its former cadets.
The general collapse in 1940 made it necessary to bring radical changes in ideas and principles. The military academy of
“ France Libre ” cadet officers in England took over, as well as the
training centre of cadet “ aspirants ” in Cherchell (North Africa).
The latter was to become the combined arms school in 1944.
Deep transformations occurred, because military authorities
wanted an army with experienced, seasoned officers with different backgrounds who would be trained together in spite of
the differences in the admission rules. That merging concept
was implemented through the creation of the Special Combined Arms Academy, which was stationed in Coëtquidan in
1945, and this brought together students originating from
operational units, as well as those recruited through a selective
examination process. All of them received a thorough training,
fitted to modern warfare, and were called to serve in the difficult context of decolonization, then of the Cold War.
In 1961, economic expansion and the drying up of recruiting
sources entailed a new reform, which resulted in the activation,
on the same site, of the Special Military School on the one hand
and the Military Combined Arms School on the other hand. In
1977, a third school was created at Coëtquidan : the Military
Technical and Administrative Corps School.
The gradual changes in the “ Special School ” have been governed for some twenty years by a will to diversify recruitment
sources (illustrated by the recruitment of women as of 1983),
and to update training so as to prepare officers for missions to
be achieved in a rapidly changing world. Designed according to
the international references of the Bologna Process, the training
has at once military, academic and leadership components.
Within a remarkably shifting geostrategic context, while the European defence identity is being developed, a new international-oriented posture makes it possible to establish close links
with foreign military academies and universities. The French
Military Academies are becoming a European reference as
regards officers’ basic training.
Through a two-century history, Saint-Cyr Academy has shown
that it regards adaptation to current requirements as a crucial
necessity. By combining tradition and modernity, the Academy
is at the heart of excellence, providing training that neglects
none of an officer’s qualities : he must be a man of action as
well as of thoughtfulness, leading men and serving his country
and the State.

Military training
Military training is at the core of the training provided at the Saint-Cyr Coëtquidan Military Academies, whose vocation is above all to produce military leaders. It
is intended to develop physical and psychological qualities of officer cadets, their
capabilities for training and leadership, to teach them technical and tactical skills, as
well as to develop situational awareness, which current operational engagements
require.
This stands for an average 57% of the teaching hours, and training is organized into
three main components : military behavior, operations, physical training and sports.
Training for military behavior
This is the foundation of the officer cadet’s military
training. It is provided mainly by trainers, with support
from specialized instructors. It covers 5 main areas :
•
•
•
•
•
Institutional awareness : knowledge about mi-
litary personnel, tradition and cohesion, general
knowledge about Defense and its regulations ;
Behavior : moral and professional ethics, stress
management, law of war and legal aspects of
military service, negotiation techniques and multicultural relations, military dress code and social
intercourse ;
Communication : written and oral communication ;
Teaching : basic training to teaching methods ;
Command : basic training to leadership and
command.
Training for operational missions
Beyond teaching of indispensable basic technical and tactical
skills, which will be completed by specific training in branch
schools, training for operational missions is intended to develop students’ skills in the tactical decision-making process.
That training is mostly performed in the field, in France or
abroad, and emphasizes real-situation platoon leadership (of
some thirty troops) by officer cadets, in association with actual
army units. Combat practice shooting is a core activity.
It is organized around basic training for tactics and associated
techniques : combat shooting, survey, intelligence, signals,
explosive ordnance, river crossing, NRBC hazard awareness.
Physical training and sports
The purpose of physical training and sports is dual :
• to enable prospective officers to organize, conduct and
direct physical training sessions in their units ;
• to enable prospective officers to adapt physically and
psychologically to tough, long-lasting and unpredictable
situations, so as to be able to maintain and exercise their
leadership qualities in all circumstances, mostly thanks to
various specific confidence-building training periods.
5 minimum levels of performance applicable to all students
ensure they have the required physical capacities : resilience,
swimming skills, rope climbing, obstacle course, physical
strength (push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, etc.).

The Coëtquidan Research Centre
Among all French and foreign prominent higher education establishments,
whether civilian or military, there can be no quality teaching without generating
knowledge.
It was on the basis of this principle that the Saint-Cyr Coëtquidan Military Academies authorities have decided to make research one of the pillars of training ; this
has been one of the strategic lines of its development.
The will to ensure on a permanent basis the relevance, quality and high level of the
teaching and training at the Academy is a core mission of the Coëtquidan Research
Centre (CREC : Centre de Recherche des Écoles De Saint-Cyr Coëtquidan). This is a
prerequisite for the training of the Army’s future leaders, for acknowledgment of
degrees delivered by the academies and beyond by all higher education organizations, universities and graduate schools within a national, European and international environment.
Research work is organized into four centers of excellence, all of which militaryoriented. Those research main lines are clearly defined and intended to federate
the research activities ; the idea is to make sure that the relevance of research work
can be perceived among research organizations in France and Europe. They naturally emphasize issues that are relevant to Army and defence.
The vocation of the department of ethics and legal environment is to deal with controlled employment of force. Its courses
are part of the curriculum of a Master’s degree, with a syllabus
emphasizing responsible decision-making based on a culture
of moral fortitude.
The concern of the European defense and security department
is the implementation framework of the European security and
defence policy, with European multidisciplinary teams working
on a network-centric basis.
The Global action and land forces department is devoted to the
study of the radical changes in the nature of conflicts, and of
their consequences on engagements and global action of land
forces.
This centre is intended to produce, disseminate and make debatable the academic and professional knowledge relevant to
its areas of teaching.
Its areas of expertise are the following : global strategic issues,
defence and security policies, forces employment doctrine,
tactical studies, intelligence organization, the legal aspect of
military operations, equipment of forces, and partnerships
between state and private sectors.
This department was complemented in May 2009 by a university chair in “ Land Action ”.
The Defence sciences and technologies department performs
research work on themes linked to defence and security
broadly speaking. Involved in the upstream development of future equipments and emerging technologies, it feeds training
programs thanks to its knowledge production. This department contributes to high-quality teaching, granting a Master’s
degree.
It brings an expertise capability to military agencies in charge
of prospective research, and takes part in the influence of the
Saint-Cyr Military Academy through its publications and its participation in collaborative projects.
Moreover, the development of research activities has encouraged seeking innovative courses of action and funding on
behalf of cadets’ training missions, as shown in the creation of
the Saint-Cyr Foundation in late 2006, whose vocation, according to the provisions of Article 1 of its statutes, is to “ enhance
research by the Saint-Cyr Coëtquidan Military Academies and
defence organizations through increased partnership with civilian agencies ”.
23
Ethics and Legal Environment Department
The Ethics and Legal Environment Department was the first department created in
October 2004 in the Saint-Cyr Coëtquidan Military Academies. Ethics has become,
especially in a world where military action is submitted to the scrutiny of the media
and the law, an absolutely essential element of the education of young officers.
These officers would not be equal to their primary function - setting an example
- vis-à-vis their men, if they did not meet the demand for human substance in matters of moral ethics, a substance of such quality that it will constantly irrigate their
unit and their own command in the future.
This department builds the foundation for the three other research departments,
which would not exist without it. Its field of research is a vast realm, encompassing
the infinite diversity of the situations in which men and women engaged in various
security and defense actions might loose their behavioral references.
The department, considering the nature of its work, is designed to share its activities with all the domains where leadership, command and/or management lead to
think and analyze in depth.
Ongoing research programs
The Ethics and Legal Environment Department aims at
conducting research campaigns included in the following
research directions :
• Identifying the fundamentals in the field of ethics ;
• Identifying the rightful place of politics ;
• Thinking out the human integration of technology ;
• Military culture ;
• Ethics and intelligence ;
• The legal framework of land forces action.

The Saint-Cyr Foundation
The Saint-Cyr Foundation began in 2006 from a realization that there were shared
interests between the civilian and military environments.
To work effectively together each culture must get to know the other, sharing experiences and knowledge.
The state approved Saint-Cyr Foundation provides a platform through which this
exchange in research and training can take place.
The scientific council :
The Scientific Council is directed by Ronan Doaré and
aims to develop research and encourages cultural
exchanges to benefit and promote the Saint-Cyr Academy.
In order to achieve its objectives, the Scientific Council
sponsors research between that of Saint-Cyr and other
military, civilian, public and private research centres.
It finances chairs of research and forms hubs of excellence. Exchanges between the various centres are stimulated by events, exhibitions, conferences and seminars.
To learn more : www.f-sc.orf
The training centre :
As human relations are at the heart of soldering, SaintCyr devotes a large part of its training to giving young
officers the skills which will enable them to lead those
under their command and form cohesive teams.
These skills are solicited by companies eager to train their
managers how to better lead and manage their teams. The
Saint-Cyr Foundation created a training centre to respond to
this need, to share military expertise specifically in the domain
of leadership with the prestigious French Universities and larger companies.
The training centre provides courses specifically tailored to
the needs of the client’s organization. They impart the technical and practical techniques which will allow business
leaders to develop their leadership skills. These courses are
based around practical simulations re-enforced with key messages and feedback which help participants achieve their
maximum potential.
The aspects covered :
•
Team work and cohesion ;
•
Self-knowledge and how to surpass one’s expectations ;
•
Operational management ;
•
Crisis and stress management ;
•
To companies in the defense industry, specific training
courses which provide a detailed knowledge of the
armed forces are offered.

Project-based learning
270 Saint-Cyr cadets are trained to the issues of management of
men and organizations. They conduct research work on core strategic developments and current international relationships.
Expertise capabilities in 63 major fields
of implementation of social and political sciences :
Economic intelligence
French firms are facing security challenges at
home as well as on their foreign sites. The point is
to understand issues and enlighten choices.
Defense and new technologies
Robotization of the battlefield : economic, sociological and ethical aspects are being researched
as this latest development is affecting warfare.
Geopolitical expertise
Changes in the concept of international borders
within the Schengen area : sovereignty, security,
intelligence are being researched as regards the
consequences of those developments.
Sociological research
The purpose is to make it possible for disabled
veterans to have jobs. This initiative deserves support from judicial and sociological research work
so as to get better awareness of issues.
Historical research
The First World War centennial will be an occasion to draft
an innovative synthesis of a kind which has yet not been
published in France, and which will pave the way for the
launching of a series of military history books supervised by
the Academy’s History department.
Legal expertise
Radical changes currently affecting the nature of conflicts
are an issue which should be addressed by international
humanitarian laws.
210 Saint-Cyr cadets of the engineering
sciences syllabus with a lot of motivation and
availability are being trained so as to obtain an
engineer’s degree.
Expertise in 3 major fields of engineering sciences
application :
Electronics
(image processing, sensors, propagation, telecommunications, laser technology, robotics, etc.)
Mechanics
(structure, dynamics of solids, propulsion technology, detonics, ballistics, aerodynamics, materials properties, etc.)
Computer science

International exchanges
A reference training establishment of European and international scope
As a top-level military academy, the Saint-Cyr Coëtquidan establishment is steadily
open to partnership with prominent universities, and is a prime example in the
field of training for leadership.
Training abroad and international exchanges are obviously crucial to young
officers, who will always work within an international context, often in remote
countries and among different cultures.
An academy providing great opportunities
Each year more than 30 countries show they have full
confidence in France by sending their prospective officers to be trained in the Academy.
Those cadets or trainees are always included within an
intake of French cadets. The Bologna Process (Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees) facilitates exchanges (on
a semester basis in particular) and ensures academic
standards (ECTS credits).
They can take part in military training periods : parachute training including jumping qualification, jungle,
mountain and commando training.
