The Marshal of the Soviet Union K. K. Rokossovsky Far Eastern Higher Combined Arms Command School (Russian: Дальневосточное высшее общевойсковое командное училище имени Маршала Советского Союза К. К. Рокоссовского), also known by its abbreviation DVOKU (Russian: ДВОКУ), is a military academy of the Russian Armed Forces.

Established on 11 February 1940 as the Vladivostok Infantry School, the Far Eastern Higher Combined Arms Command School is one of the oldest military educational establishments in Russia. Opening shortly before the Axis invasion of the Soviet Union, it went on to train infantry company and platoon commanders during the war. Graduates saw action in many of the military theatres during the war, many of them receiving awards and honours for their service. The school continued to train officers after the war, relocating from Vladivostok to Blagoveshchensk in 1949, and undergoing several changes of name in the following years. It received several awards from the Soviet and later Russian governments, and has trained some 26,000 graduates who have served in many warzones across the world, have received honours including the titles Hero of the Soviet Union and Hero of the Russian Federation, and attained high military ranks.

Today the school trains officers for service with the Armed Forces' motor rifle units, and with the Naval Infantry. It has particular specialisations in mountain and arctic warfare, and is the only military university in Russia to offer these.
