History

The college traces its history back to the East China Military and Political University, which was abolished on November 28, 1950. On January 27, 1974, the Nanjing Military Region decided to build a Military and Political Cadre School based in the Pukou District. The opening ceremony was held on April 19, 1976. In January 1978, the Central Military Commission ordered the Nanjing Military Region Military and Political Cadre School to be upgraded and transformed into the Nanjing Advanced Infantry School. In December 1980, it was renamed the Nanjing Advanced Army School.

In July 1986, it was renamed the PLA Army Command Academy. In 1999, it was renamed the Nanjing Army Command College, being a key construction academy in the third phase of the "2110 Project" of military academies.[3] In 2016, the school was transferred from the PLA General Staff Department to the PLAGF.[4] The following year, in connection with the reforms of 2015, the school was renamed to the Army Command College.[5]
