The Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) is a training-oriented formation in the Lithuanian Armed Forces, focused on implementing military training policy in the National Defence System (NDS). The main objectives of TRADOC are to conduct the individual training of soldiers and organize personnel training of the NDS. It is also responsible for developing doctrine documents of the LAF in the military field.
TRADOC History
The Training and Personnel Command (TRAPEC) under the Ministry of National Defence was established by order of Minister Česlovas Stankevičius on 6 August 1998. Colonel Romas Žibas was appointed as the deputy commander of TRAPEC, and on 17 August, the permanent structure of the organization comprising 50 personnel positions was approved. TRAPEC was organized at the facilities of the Defence Staff before being moved in February 1999 to separate facilities in 21 Sapiegos Street. On 25 June 1999, Stankevičius renamed TRAPEC to TRADOC. On 20 October of that year, Colonel Žibas was appointed as the TRADOC commander. On 20 February 2002, the Jaeger School (renamed in 2006 as the Reconnaissance School) was subordinated to TRADOC. On 1 September 2008 the Joint Staff undertook the control functions and combat training of Lithuanian Armed Forces Military Units from TRADOC (by Order No. V-630 of 2 July 2008 of the Minister of National Defence). By 31 December 2008 the TRADOC had conducted administration functions of compulsory basic military service of the reserve officers. The Military Personnel Department was subordinated to TRADOC on 1 April 2010. From 14 February to 1 April 2011 TRADOC temporarily took over functions related with military drafting.
