In historiography of the Colombian military, the process known as the Military Reform and the professionalization of the national army is said to have begun in 1907. With this in mind, the article investigates a fundamental issue: military education, or the drilling of the troops and the training of the officers in the military schools between 1886 and 1907. Its aim is to understand how the army attempted to achieve this goal. There were both advances and steps backward toward such goals during these years.
