The Tashkent Higher All-Arms Command School (Uzbek: Тошкент Олий Умумқўшин Қўмондонлик билим юрти (ТОУКБЮ)) is a military academy of the Ministry of Defense of Uzbekistan.

It was previously the Tashkent Higher Combined Arms Command School named after Vladimir Lenin (Ташкентское Высшее Общевойсковое Командное Училище имени В.И. Ленина). It was one of the oldest military establishments of the USSR preparing infantry officers for the Soviet Army.

The College was disbanded after former Soviet Republic of Uzbekistan gained independence in 1991. The Last Banner of the College was removed from the No. 1 Guard Post and deposited into the Museum of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

On 26 March 1993 it was reestablished by the Ministry of Defense of Uzbekistan as the Tashkent Higher All-Arms Command School.[1]

The College graduates have their informal Club website . "Long live Lenintsy of All Generations" "Слава Ленинцам Всех Поколений, Слава Ленинцам Всех Времен" - this motto is known to every graduate of the College since it used to be written on a local landmark.
