Article moved

I move this article to Spanish Armed Forces because the offical name of the Spanish Military is Fuerzas Armadas Españolas.

HM Armed Forces

Is there a tradition within the Spansih Armed Forces of referring to the Armed Forces as "His Majesty's Armed Forces" ? I am looking that up but so far have not been able to find anything official on that.♦Drachenfyre♦·Talk 13:15, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm from Spain, and I would like to answer to your question: though the King constitutionally exercises the supreme command of the Spanish Army (Section 62.h of the present Spanish Constitution^[1]), no such title as HM Armed Forces is regulated or even used in Spain.

Size of Spanish Army circa 2013

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.

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. NJames99 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:33, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
