attend the 4-month course in advanced military studies at CESEDEN.

There is no system of refresher training, and reservists are not recalled for any obligatory training after release from active duty. Some reservists request active duty to attend schools. Reserve officers and noncommissioned officers are obtained this year from the Superior Premilitary Instruction Program in some of the universities. If successfully completed, the program satisfies the requirement for compulsory military service. Students who are accepted into the program receive military training on two Saturdays per month during the spring session for a period of 2 years. In addition, they must spend two 3-month special training periods in summer camps. Candidates are separated into officer and noncommissioned officer categories on the basis of scholastic standing. Those who become 2d lieutenants in the reserve must attend a 4-month practical training period in one of the recruit training centers.

The following is a location list of army schools and training centers with comments on courses offered at each:
