Mexico City.- At the start of the new federal Government, the Secretariat of National Defense (Sedena) adjusted the commands in four military zones, considered front-line battle units of the Army.
The rotations were registered in the states of Tamaulipas, Jalisco and Veracruz.
At the head of the Eighth Military Zone, based in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, and replacing Juan José Gómez Ruiz, Brigadier General Fernando Colchado Gómez was sent, who only last May assumed the state coordination of the National Guard. Colchado, who has completed Combating Terrorism courses, was military attaché in Guatemala, commander of the 29th Military Zone in Minatitlán, Veracruz in 2012 and of the 21st Zone in Morelia, Michoacán, in 2023.
Also in Tamaulipas, Enrique García Jaramillo was assigned to the Command of the 48th Military Zone, based in Ciudad Victoria, replacing General Julio César Islas Sánchez.
García Jaramillo comes from Military Zone 16, in Guanajuato, where he declared that there is a criminal group that hires former Colombian police and military officers to assassinate local agents. In the 15th Military Zone, established in La Mojonera, Jalisco, Julio César Islas Sánchez relieved Crisóforo Martínez Parra. Islas Sánchez headed the 48th Military Zone in Ciudad Victoria, after until the end of February 2023 he was in charge of the Command of the First Infantry Brigade, in Zacatecas. He was also commander of the 105th Infantry Battalion, in Ciudad Mier, one of the most violent regions located on the small border of Tamaulipas, as well as commander of the Fourth Military Police Brigade in Apodaca, Nuevo León, and of the Military Garrison in Matamoros. . The last adjustment occurred in the 19th Military Zone based in Tuxpan, Veracruz, with the sending of Jorge Antonio Maldonado Guevara to replace Gonzalo Aguilar Escobedo. Brigadier General Maldonado Guevara was director of the Heroic Military College and previously commander of the 24 Military Zone in Cuernavaca, Morelos. The Sedena has 48 military zones, and until now its commands are maintained in the rest of the commands.
