Mexico's Heroic Military College graduates over 2,000 officers and subalterns

The Heroic Military College in Tlalpan hosted a significant graduation ceremony, presided over by General Ricardo Trevilla Trejo, head of the Secretariat of National Defense. The event marked the culmination of studies for the "2022-2026" and "2025-2026" cohorts, celebrating the achievements of over 2,000 graduating cadets.

The military educational model is based on four fundamental pillars: military training, academic, ethical, and specialization.

Brigadier General Francisco Javier Zubía González, director of the Heroic Military College, outlined the institution's educational model, which is built upon four fundamental pillars: military training, academic instruction, ethical development, and specialization. He emphasized that this comprehensive approach equips students with the necessary values, theoretical knowledge, and practical skills to effectively command units within the Army and the National Guard.

This graduating class comprises 1,303 subalterns and 428 licensed military administrators across various branches and support services of the Army. Additionally, 505 individuals graduated with licenses in public security, forming part of the National Guard's police training. The cohort also includes 42 officers from an intensive training course for Army arms and services, and 328 officers from an intensive training course for the National Guard.

This allows students to have values, acquire theoretical and practical knowledge, which will provide them with tools to perform effectively in the exercise of command within the units of the Army and National Guard.

A notable aspect of this graduating generation is the presence of 224 women. Their achievements were specifically highlighted as a tangible example of the strengthening and inclusion efforts within the historic institution. General Zubía González praised these new officers as disciplined military professionals equipped with the knowledge and experience essential for their careers serving the people of Mexico.

Notably, 224 of this new generation are women who have demonstrated their capacity and dedication, becoming a tangible example of the strengthening and inclusion in this historic institution.

General Zubía González also expressed profound gratitude to the Secretary General for his support of military education and the college. He referenced the college's long history, dating back to October 11, 1823, and its cadets' participation in pivotal moments of Mexican history, embodying honor, loyalty, and patriotism. This legacy, he stated, remains crucial for the ongoing development of military professionals.
