The Combined Arms School or Joint military school, known as École Militaire Interarmes or EMIA, is a military school of the French Army intended to form reserve officers and non-commissioned officers who had raised through the ranks as commissioned officers. It was founded in 1942 and based in Coëtquidan (Morbihan) along with Saint-Cyr military school.

History

The EMIA is the heiress of the various branch schools of the 19th century that were forming officers from corps of troops. The most important of these branch schools, the infantry school of Saint-Maixent was merged with Saint-Cyr in 1942 in the school student aspiring Cherchell-Mediouna, created after the German occupation of southern zone. In 1944 the Military Academy Cherchell took the name of "Joint Military Academy." She moved to Coëtquidan buildings of the old school of Saint-Cyr, Saint-Cyr-School were destroyed in the bombing. The new school, which in 1947 took the name of "Joint Special Military School", formed at the same time, according to the idea of amalgamation of its founder, General de Lattre de Tassigny, officers from external competition and Officers from the internal recruitment. This system works until 1961, when they separated the training of officers "direct" transferred to the new school of Saint-Cyr, and that officers "semi-direct" entrusted to EMIA.
