Military associations demand that the Ministry of Defense recognize their profession as "high-risk professions"

Three professional military associations have submitted a joint written request to Spanish Defense Minister Margarita Robles, urgently demanding a meeting to advocate for the military career to be officially declared a "profesión de riesgo" (risk profession). The formal petition originates from Madrid and was documented on October 22.

Separately, in the Dominican Republic, the Dominican Army (ERD) has ordered the preventative arrest of an officer and an enlisted recruit following a physical altercation inside a military facility. The incident came to light after a video documenting the physical confrontation circulated on social media, prompting immediate disciplinary action from military authorities regarding the refusal to obey an order.
