Military Career Call 2026 Common Bodies FAS: requirements and positions

Key data

University graduates and active military personnel have from April 2026 a new window to join as career military officers in the Common Bodies of the Armed Forces. The Resolution 452/38203/2026, of April 15, convenes the selection processes that allow access to bodies such as the Military Legal Corps, the Intervention Corps or the Military Health Corps, among others.

This is a call with two differentiated routes: one for civilians with university qualifications and another for professional military personnel seeking promotion within the Armed Forces. Each route has its own requirements, tests and selection procedures.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution establishes the complete bases of the selection process to enter military training centers, with the aim of filling positions in the Common Bodies of the Armed Forces. The key elements are:

The call regulates access to military training centers, which are the mandatory prior step before definitive integration as a career military officer. Each corps has its specific call with tests adapted to the required professional profile.

Economic and operational impact

For candidates, this call represents an opportunity to access a stable professional career in the Armed Forces, with the remuneration and career conditions inherent to military status. The most relevant operational aspects are:

• Applicants must plan their preparation for the three types of tests: physical, psychometric and academic.
• University qualification is an entry requirement for direct entry, which defines the profile of civilian candidates.
• Active military personnel opting for internal promotion must assess the impact on their current career and the specific requirements of the rank or corps they aspire to.
• The process goes through military training centers, which implies a training period before definitive integration.

From the perspective of human resources planning in the Defense field, this call covers needs in technical and specialized bodies that require prior university qualification, which strengthens the professional profile of the Armed Forces.

Who does it affect?

This call directly affects two differentiated profiles:

• Civilian university graduates interested in starting a military career in specialized bodies (Military Legal Corps, Intervention Corps, Military Health Corps or other common bodies), who meet the qualification, age and physical condition requirements established.
• Professional active military personnel wishing to advance in rank or change corps through the internal promotion route.
• Law graduates aspiring to the Military Legal Corps.
• Health science graduates (medicine, pharmacy, nursing or other specialties) wishing to access the Military Health Corps.
• Graduates in economics, administration or related fields applying for the Intervention Corps.
• Human resources advisors and employment counselors working with university profiles interested in the public sector and military career.

Practical example

A law graduate currently working in a law firm and wanting to apply for a position in the Military Legal Corps must follow the direct entry route contemplated in this call. To do this:

1. Verifies that they meet the qualification requirements (law degree) and other requirements established in the specific call for the Military Legal Corps.
2. Submits their application within the deadline set in the resolution.
3. Prepares to pass the physical, psychometric and academic tests specific to this corps.
4. If they pass the selection process, they enter the corresponding military training center before their definitive integration as a career military officer.

On the other hand, an active military officer wishing to transfer to the Military Health Corps because they have a medical degree can do so through the internal promotion route, without needing to compete with civilian candidates in the direct entry process.

What should interested parties do now?

1. Identify the corps to apply for: Military Legal Corps, Intervention Corps, Military Health Corps or another common corps, and verify that your university qualification fits the required requirements.
2. Consult the specific call for each corps within the resolution to know the exact application deadlines, the academic test syllabus and physical standards.
3. Verify compliance with all requirements: qualification, age, physical condition and any other criteria established in the bases.
4. Prepare supporting documentation of university qualification and other required merits before the application submission period opens.
5. Plan preparation for the tests: the three types (physical, psychometric and academic) require differentiated preparation and sufficient time.
6. Active military personnel should assess whether they meet the internal promotion route requirements and consult with their unit the administrative implications of the rank or corps change.
