==History==
The Georgian military educations dates back to 1862 when the first military school was established in Tbilisi. On the occasion of Georiga obtaining its independence in 1918, the [[Chief of General Staff (Georgia)|Commanders-in-Chief of the Democratic Republic of Georgia]], Major General [[Giorgi Kvinitadze]] established the Georgian Junkers Military School". After the [[Red Army invasion of Georgia]] in early 1921, the school ceased to exist. During [[Bolshevik]] and [[Georgian Communist Party (Soviet Union)|Georgian Communist Party]] rule, the school was transformed into an institution of [[Red Army]] students, later being was renamed to the [[Tbilisi Higher Artillery Command School]], which was abolished in 1992 upon thw restoration of independence. On 28 May 1993 based on the order of Defence Minister [[Giorgi Karkarashvili]], the United Military Academy of the Republic of Georgia was created. It began operating on 1 September 1993. On 20 February 2003 the Academy was given the honorific prefix of "David Aghmashenebeli" ([[David IV of Georgia]] in [[English]]. 6 years later, it changed its location to [[Gori]], where it still operates today.
