The institute was established on 30 December 1977 with the support of British Military Advisory Team. The college is run by Bangladesh Armed forces.[1] A British Military Advisory Team (BMAT) headed by a Chief Instructor, was the founding and driving force in running the training curriculum in the initial days of the college.
