 HISTORY

• the first Peruvian units. As a first measure, on October

21, 1820, he signed the decree creating the National
Flag of Peru, so that the Peruvians, who were
beginning to organize themselves militarily, would
have a national symbol to defend and under which to
fight.
• The origin of our first military units dates back to the
dawn of the War of Independence and the arrival of
the Liberating Expedition, which immediately aroused
the enthusiasm of the Peruvians, who, since 1818,
maintained secret correspondence with San Martín
coordinating their arrival in Peru.
• The Peruvian Legion of the Guard is a historical and
emblematic unit of the Peruvian Army and since its
creation it has never been deactivated, having been
present in several important events in Peruvian
national history. The first members of the Peruvian
legion of the guard were patriotic Peruvians who
decided to fight for the libertarian cause of Peru.

The Peruvian air force has been a reference in the
American subcontinent, actions that support the
statement would be the one that, in 1941, carried
out the first airborne mission in Latin America
during the Peruvian-Ecuadorian War.
On January 28, 1919, Military Aviation was born in
Peru, initially within the Army. On December 9 of
the same year, the Navy's Hydroaviation unit was
created; It should be considered that, according to
the Political Constitution of 1920, the Armed Forces
of Peru were made up only of the Army and the
Navy. Thus, given the growing advance of world
military aviation, on May 20, 1929, the Peruvian
Aviation Corps (CAP) was created as the third armed
institute.
