History

Between 1830 and 1924, the President as commander-in-chief commanded the joint Armed Forces, a function that was delegated on several occasions during armed conflicts. Beginning in 1924, a position of operational administrative authority for the joint Armed Forces was created, undergoing several changes: General Inspectorate of the Army, Superior Command of the Army, Chief of the General Staff and finally, Joint Command since 1971.
