Academia de las FAR "General Máximo Gómez" (General Máximo Gómez Higher Academy of the Armed Forces) Founded on the 3rd July 1963 Director: General de Brigada Urbelino Betancourt Cruces. Colegio de Defensa Nacional (National Defense College) (with seat in the Academy of the General Officers' Club of Revolutionary Armed Forces Maximum Gomez, in the east of Havana) Director: General Reinaldo Gómez Cuevas. Academia Naval Granma (Granma Naval Academy) Incorporated 1977-1978 Escuela Interarmas de las FAR "General Antonio Maceo" (General Antonio Maceo Military Academy) Founded in February 1963 Instituto Técnico Militar "José Martí" (José Martí Technical Military Institute) Existing until the course of 1975-1976 Escuela de Artilleria de las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias "Comandante Camilo Cienfuegos" (Comandante Camilo Cienfuegos Armed Forces' Artillery School) Incorperated 1977-1978 Instituto Superior de Medicina Militar "Dr. Luis Díaz Soto" (Dr. Luis Díaz Soto Higher Institute of Military Medicine) Founded October 1980 Escuela Interarmas de las FAR "General José Maceo" (General José Maceo Military School) Founded on the 15th September1980 Escuela Militar Superior "Cdte.

The images of Academy Badges being worn on the right are too small to see any detail, I suspect that they are Soviet Academy Badges though. Image CO Rick

The white enamelled badge for Military Academies, with the rank of Major and above.
This badge is possibly the one shown worn on the the images in the above post. Regards Eddie

My "white" beauty:
It's a well made award and i'm very happy to find a couple of this in mint condition. One is for sale if anyone is interested. I think that actually 2 type are in use, green one and white for the officers. No maker marks on the back Last edited by CtahhR; 02-11-2014 at 12:15 AM. |

Re: Cuban Military Academies and Schools, Academy badges
I received just today this badge. It appears an academy award but it's different from the others in shape and colour.
This is dark blue. Anyone have some info? |

Re: Cuban Military Academies and Schools, Academy badges
I would guess it's a University graduate award - looks similar to soviet ones.
