Since March 1872, a grand military reform began to unfold officially in Spain. To prevent a significant impact on the army, the reform would be implemented in batches throughout the Spanish Army.
The first to undergo reform, naturally, were the garrison troops around Madrid. The good news is that the troops defending the capital are the elite among all Spanish forces. Most soldiers and officers in this army possess certain abilities, and the number of officers and soldiers in the scope of disbandment is not many, so the impact on the troops themselves will not be significant.
Choosing this army as the primary target for reform is naturally because it would be less affected by the military reform.
After the reform of this army is completed, the military reform of other armies throughout Spain can be pushed forward boldly and confidently.
