Pakistan Military Academy (PMA), is a military academy located near Kakul village in Abbottabad District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Established in October 1947,[2][1] It is the only service academy in Pakistan responsible for training cadets to serve as army officers. For educational training, the institution is accredited by the National University of Sciences & Technology.[3][4][5]
To become an officer, cadets undergo a rigorous two-year military training program. The Pakistan Military Academy (PMA) plays a crucial role in providing training to Gentlemen Cadets (Officer cadets) from the Pakistan Army as well as from allied countries. The academy is organized into four training battalions and 16 companies.
The Pakistan Military Academy (PMA) holds significant international prominence, hosting approximately 2,000 invited guests from over 34 countries each year. Many of Pakistan's close allies send their cadets and officers to the PMA to receive advanced training in modern military doctrine.[citation needed]
