The National Revolutionary Army was closely linked to the Whampoa Military Academy, which had also been established by the Kuomintang. A large number of the Army's officers passed through Whampoa, and the first commandant, Chiang Kai-Shek, became commander-in-chief of the Army in 1925 before lauching the successful Northern Expedition. Aside from Chiang Kai-Shek himself, other prominent commanders in the National Revolutionary Army included Du Yuming and Chen Cheng. For a time, during the Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945)|Second Sino-Japanese War, Communist forces fought as a nominal part of the National Revolutionary Army, forming the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army units, but this co-operation later fell apart. Throughout the Chinese Civil War, the National Revolutionary Army experienced problems with desertion, with many troops switching sides to fight for the Communists.
