Hungary Education and Training
Much of the military education system developed since
1949
has been patterned on Soviet models, with the help of
Soviet
advisers. This pattern was also applied to troop training
programs in garrisons and in the field. Yet despite Soviet
attempts to make the HPA more concerned with defense of
the
Warsaw Pact countries than with national defense, the army
remained highly patriotic and nationalistic. Moreover,
toward the
end of the 1980s attempts were made, despite the HSWP's
objections, to partially depoliticize the military.
