Mastering the art of accumulated knowledge by mankind could not take place spontaneously, outside of any organized system. The function of creating an education system assumes the state policy in the field of education and defines the structure and relationship of the elements of this system and directions (outlooks) of its development. The modernization of military education in Russia is an objective social need, as a response to challenges of the twenty-first century. Russia's civilized development like others involved in the process of globalization is to build the foundations of the information society. In such circumstances there is an objective need for the modernization of social institutions including the Institute of military education and science. Knowledge and skills are the key expertise of the modern system of education, training and retraining. In this context, training of highly qualified military specialists, and modernization of military education and sciencean the requirements of the time. Science has always paved the way towards humanity. Military science as its integral part is ahead of development of military affairs, determines the direction and future features of the armed forces, the realities. Dynamics of development of military affairs in the world, the introduction of achievements of military science into day-to-day operations and combat use of troops, the improvement of military technology, as well as the scope of the military preparations of the leading countries in the world and exacerbation of the military-political situation in a number of regions make clear that it is impossible to train the modern officer using the old baggage, largely inherited from the Soviet army and intended for very different realities. This applies to both military and doctrinal views and technical base of training.
