The ceremony was presided over by Major General Erik Rodríguez Aparicio, second commander of the National Army, who highlighted the efforts of these officers, who through their work and sacrifice for their country have proven themselves worthy of wearing the insignia that now rest on their shoulders.

"This step represents a higher level of responsibility and leadership in the professional sphere, while opening up new opportunities to respond to the needs of the Force based on their experience. In the institutional plan, it strengthens our Army by consolidating a broader, more solid chain of command that is prepared to carry out the difficult missions that our soldiers face every day in the national territory," said the senior officer.
