This act is a true exaltation of the "The Esprit of La General" , defined as the set of values that make up our identity as officers, bond of cohesion and comradeship between classes and union between Corps and Arms.

During the course of the event, the appointment of the new Honorary Cadet takes place, a title that has been granted since 1990 to recognize those personalities who have stood out most for their cooperation, dedication and support to the Academy.
