Combined Arms Academy of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation
Identification
Open sources indicate this record refers to the Combined Arms Academy's distributed Moscow footprint rather than a single isolated point. Placemark 2 aligns with the academy's publicly listed address at proezd Devichyego Polya 4 in Hamovniki, while Placemark 1 aligns closely with the long-associated 1st Krasnokursantsky Proezd 3/5 complex in Lefortovo, which court records show was under the academy's operational management after the academy's 1998 formation.

Role
The Russian Ministry of Defense's current education-site map lists the Combined Arms Academy as a higher military educational organization subordinate to the Commander-in-Chief of the Ground Forces. Public institutional listings describe it as a military educational-scientific center and show graduate-level training in military management, indicating an academy/research function rather than an operational combat unit.

Devichye Pole site
The Devichye Pole address is the best-verified core site. Moscow heritage-restoration documents identify proezd Devichyego Polya 4 as the 1932-1937 M.V. Frunze Military Academy complex and name the Combined Arms Academy (VUNC SV) as the user of the property; 2019 project material covered restoration of the main building's facades and replacement of lift equipment, consistent with a permanent high-value academic/administrative complex.

Lefortovo site
The Lefortovo placemark aligns with 1st Krasnokursantsky Proezd 3/5, part of the historic Catherine Palace military complex. A 2006 appellate court decision states that this address was in the academy's operational management and notes that the Combined Arms Academy was created on the base of the Frunze Academy, the Malinovsky Armored Academy, and the Vystrel courses; Moscow heritage material independently identifies 3/5 as the Catherine Palace complex.

Analytic note
The two placemarks therefore most likely represent separate academy-associated Moscow sites, not one contiguous campus. A key caution is that the official MoD education map now lists the Combined Arms Academy and the Moscow Higher Combined Arms Command School as distinct organizations, so open-source references that blur Moscow Ground Forces education facilities together should be treated carefully.
