The military special École of Saint-Cyr military school is a military academy of French higher education, which forms Officier S of the weapons of the Army and part of the officers of the national police. She belongs to the Military academies of Saint-Cyr military school Coëtquidan of Coëtquidan, on the commune of Guer in the Morbihan with for currency: “ They are informed to overcome ”.

History

The military academy is created by the law of the 11 Floréal year X (May 1st 1802) on order of the 1 {{er}} Consul Napoleon Bonaparte, which initially installs it with the Château of Fontainebleau (stopped of the 8 Pluviôse year XI (January 28th 1803)), then in 1806, with Saint-Cyr-the School (Yvelines), in the buildings of the royal House of Saint-Louis, founded by Madam de Maintenon in 1686 (wife of Louis XIV).

She becomes with the imperial sacring of Napoleon in 1804, imperial École military, but it is only starting from 1818 that the arrivals of pupils will be regular and annual.

In 1940, after the defeat, Saint-Cyr military school and Saint-Maixent (school of Infantry) are transferred to Aix-en-Provence, in free Zone. In November 1942, after the occupation of the free zone, the two schools are dissolved by the Nazi S. Certains pupils succeed in leaving France while passing by the Spain, and take refuge with the École of the pupil-candidates of Cherchell-Médiouna in Algérie (colonial Empire French). In parallel, since 1940, in Great Britain, of the officers are formed by the Military academy of the juniors by Free France, founded by the general de Gaulle. In 1944 the Military academy of Cherchell becomes the Military academy interarmes (EMIA), charged to as well train all the officers of the Army, those resulting from direct recruitment (Saint-Cyr military school) that those of internal recruitment (Saint-Maixent). It is there the idea of amalgam of the general of Lattre de Tassigny.

In 1945, the ESM moves with Coëtquidan (Morbihan), the buildings of Saint-Cyr-the School having been made unusable by allied bombardments in July and August 1944. In 1947, the EMIA becomes the military special school interarmes, concession with the old name of Saint-Cyr military school. In 1961, the training of the officers resulting from direct recruitment and former warrant officers is separate into two. The ESM takes again its role, at the sides of the new EMIA. In 1977 a new school comes to be installed on the site of Coëtquidan, it is the Military academy of the technical and administrative body (EMCTA).
