[edit] Check independent forces

Pleas check sources for independent forces, because the only one existing is the EMP (Estado Mayor Presidencial) which is directly under the orders of the Mexican presidency. No other independent military force exist nowadays in Mexico—Preceding unsigned comment added by Konegistiger (talk • contribs)

What about the federal police and the Grupos Beta?--Rockero 05:58, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] It would be interesting to read about Mexican military families

I would like to know what their lives are like. Are there Mexican military brats?

[edit] Contradict tag

In the "Leadership" subsection of the "Organization" section, these two quotes contradict each other:

"The two components of the Mexican military do not come under a single unified commander at any level below the President, as there is no Minister of Defense."

"This subordination has allowed the Army to use the term “Secretariat of National Defense” (Secretaría de la Defensa Nacional or SEDENA) for its organizational structure, and General Vega García and his predecessors have held the title of Minister of Defense (much to the annoyance of the Navy)."

The Secretary of National Defense is a cabinet-level position, the equivalent of a Minister in some countries. Furthermore, it is unclear who General Vega García is and why he is annoyed.--Rockero 05:58, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Service Pistol?

Anyone know the service pistol for the Mexican armed forces? User:Beanerschnitzel

[edit] Service Pistol possibility

I think they use the Beretta 92 user:Homan05

[edit] UN PeaceKeeping

There is a mention of Mexico's role in peacekeeping; I placed a "citation needed" template because as far as my research uncovered, Mexico has done some in the past, but for a few decades now has refused to send troops: [1] [2] The passage should be erased or referenced appropiately.
