In the year 1935 it was transferred in Thessaloniki, where it operated until 1940 at the camp of the Higher War College. Its functioning was interrupted in 1940, because of the II World War and the German occupation, and started again after the liberation, as Battalion of the "General Officers Training Center", again in the old camp of the Cadets School in Athens. Finally, in 1947 it moved to Halkis, where it is located until today, at "Velissarios Camp", named after Maj. I. Velissarios a hero of the Balkan wars.
