Basic Training
Basic Training lasts 4 months and takes place in Caceres or Cadiz. It includes basic military skills, forced marches and a stringent assault course. After the second month, the recruit signs a 2 or 3 year contract. After finishing basic training the recruit joins one of the tercios, in there he receives further training, mostly focused on parading and legionnare tradition. This is the same process as in the rest of units in the Spanish army.
