As a result, the necessity for national officers, translators and specialists was needed in order to establish departments for these units and then to become preparation for their independence.

A Military School was established in Damascus in 1921 to prepare and train officers needed for these new units.

On August 15, 1945, the school barracks were handed over to the Syrian authorities and the Lebanese and French units moved to Lebanon.

Instructors and students joined the Kobbeh barracks in Tripoli and they were put administratively under the authority of the third battalion's company located there.

On December 31, 1951, the Lebanese president Bechara El Khoury inaugurated the school's new buildings.
