National Army Welcomes 57 Lieutenants



CHISINAU, June 23, 2018 — The graduates of the Military Academy of Armed Forces “Alexandru cel Bun” received today their diplomas and the military rank of “lieutenant” during a ceremony held in the square of the Metropolitan Cathedral “Nasterea Domnului”.

During the event, Premier Pavel Filip congratulated the 57 lieutenants including one graduate of the United States Military Academy “West Point” for choosing a responsible profession and mentioned that they will be part of an institution that is defined by courage and professionalism.

“To be a solder means to combine physical skills with integrity, moral qualities, and wit. The fact that these young people have chosen the Military Academy, have chosen to study, to remain in the Republic of Moldova, to become service members gives my colleagues and me strength and confidence that we are doing the right thing”, said the Prime Minister.

Minister of Defense Eugen Sturza mentioned that the defense institution offered the students quality training and the academy offered them its best possession — professors dedicated to their job.

“I know you made every effort, studied and trained for your military career. I respect you for all your achievements of these four years and, most importantly, you are respected by the Moldovan citizens”, said the Minister of Defense.

During the ceremony, the best graduates received the “National Army Cross of Merit”

The class of 2018 has 56 graduates. They studied three specialties: infantry, artillery, and communications.

Since 1992, when the institution was founded, over 1,800 officers graduated from the Military Academy.

The Military Academy of Armed Forces “Alexandru cel Bun” is a member of the Partnership for Peace Consortium and has two faculties: military science and public administration. The institution also has a center of defense and security strategic studies, a continuous training center and a Language Learning Center.
