With the establishment of the Republic of Turkey politics, economy, military, and a new beginning is made in almost all areas such as health and education. Of course, it is difficult to think of these reconstructed elements, especially the military, independently of history.

The Turkish Army, which caused the events that affected the world history with this feature in the past, suffered a serious defeat together with the Alliance states in the First World War. Even though it eliminated the occupation situation that emerged in the War of Independence that took place immediately after, the need to revise the army, which is the most deterrent power in the eyes of the world states, in areas such as technology, health and education continued.

In this study, these reports and the innovations made in the aforementioned ministry were examined in the light of archive sources.
