It had five branches of the military: infantry, cavalry, artillery, engineering, and baggage. The course lasted one to two years, and included classes in various military studies, foreign languages, and military training. Over 5,000 students were enrolled between 1912 and 1917, including Chiang Kai-shek, and graduates included Zhang Jingyao, Ye Ting, Bai Chongxi, and Tang Shengzhi.
