There are equivalents for the officer students, called "cadetes". It´s similar to the subteniente without the star. During the first course they use only an angle, the second, two.
I'm currently working on a project to create app-6 graphics of the structure of all European armies. I have begun work on the Spanish Army (2006-2009 reorganization), but there is not information available to design the organization chart: i.e. which of the 4 battalions of the 10th mechanized Brigade will survive? and which two will make up the new armoured regiment? Also, where are the units garrisoned? Does anyone have detailed information? Or a link to a white paper regarding the reorganization of the Spanish Army? noclador Donenoclador 10:29, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
To all, i have posted some contr. about Spanish army. I have a RID magazine that descrives in one article the details of Spanish army as shots in 1991. There is a lot of interesting stuff, i hope this works also because many hardware is still in service today.--Stefanomencarelli 19:35, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
Under the heading 1985 what is the meaning of organic in this sentence?? In this year Spanish Army had started a reorganization that included a 45,000 unit reduction in organic.
Organic is this in the sense of soldiers ie flesh and blood? Or organic [growth] is being reduced?
Any offers? Ideas?
I (Mumbo-Jumbophobe) settled the issue by removing the term "organic", which is the result of a translation error. What is meant is that the army was reduced by 45,000 men. 4 May 2010 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mumbo-jumbophobe (talk • contribs) 19:28, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

I made some corrections to the English and after "30 billion" I wrote (30,000,000,000). The Eng. term "billion" has different meanings in Great Britain and the US. In the US one billion is 1,000,000,000, whereas in the UK a billion is 1,000,000,000,000. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mumbo-jumbophobe (talk • contribs) 19:25, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Is there a reason that there is no mention of the Spanish Army's experience in Iraq or Afghnistan? I don't know which country Spanish troops were involved in. Probably under NATO, so it is likely Afghnistan. I think that the article would be improved by including recent, or for that matter, any operational experience. --TGC55 (talk) 03:13, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
Someone changed the size of the Spanish Army to 100,000 from the previous 61,000. As far I can tell this is completely spurious. I'm not sure 61,000 is exactly right, but 100,000 is definitely not true.
http://www.amtm.es/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Estadistica2011.pdf gives a number of 56,384 on page 2-24.
If there are other numbers to add to this, please explain. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NJames99 (talk • contribs) 21:24, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
Las Fuerzas Armadas cuentan con alrededor de 130.000 militares —83.000 soldados o marineros y 47.000 oficiales y suboficiales
The Armed Forces have approximately 130,000 personnel - 83,000 soldiers or sailors and 47,000 officers
Given that the number 100,000 is not supported, but the actual number is unclear I propose changing the article to read "less than 100,000" or perhaps less than "80,000".
Of course, we could provide an actual number if we can find a reference for officers in the army, or a total for the army itself, as opposed to totals for the armed forces, including navy, etc. NJames99 (talk) 04:30, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

Could someone add a few words about the times Spanish soldiers portrayed crowds, attackers, defenders, etc in notable epic films of the late 20th century? Even Spartacus (film) alone, for one. Thanks. knoodelhed (talk) 23:13, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
In 1958 a decision was made to begin copying the U.S. "Pentomic" organisation, a term that came from the contraction of penta (5) and atomic. General Instruction 158/107 of 1958 initially affected three experimental divisions (DIE 11, 21, 31).
Instruction 160/115 of January 15, 1960 extended these changes to another five divisions in transformation (DIT) and the four mountain divisions (DIM), assigning a name to all of them for the first time. Theoretically, they were divided into three bodies that would have been interregional had they been constituted:
By the same IG 160/115 all divisions receive their names. (Lopez 2017, 63)
On August 31, 1960, the last Spanish units left Morocco. The general commands of Ceuta and Melilla are integrated into the general captaincies of Seville and Granada, which also receive the provinces of Badajoz and Jaén, respectively.
Each division consists of one armored cavalry and five infantry groups, under the command of lieutenant colonels. These, in turn, are divided into five combat groups commanded by commanders. In addition, rather reduced-strength three cavalry brigades are created for each army corps. Sources see http://caballipedia.es/Ej%C3%A9rcito_de_Francisco_Franco.

Hey, uh, one question, where did the equipment list go? It's not there anymore, and I know for a fact that it was there the last time I used this page. Can someone please fix this problem? I would myself, but I don't have access to the tools needed. Faith15 16:53, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
Most other similar pages (German Army, Polish Army, Danish Army, ect) have a brief summary and overview of equipment and a separate page that lists it. Should this page have the same to homogenise the pages? (I see that were is already a Draft:List of equipment of the Spanish Army Page. Shaws username (talk) 21:43, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
