The President of the Junta de Andalucía, Juanma Moreno, has accompanied King Felipe VI who has received the medal of the Virgin of Angustias in Granada. Thus, His Majesty has renewed his appointment as perpetual Grand Master of this Brotherhood, a position that dates back to 1747, when Fernando VI ratified the Patronage of the Crown over the Granada brotherhood that had already been established with Felipe II.
Subsequently, both have attended the Monastery of San Jerónimo where the annual meeting of the Royal Cavalry Maestranzas of Spain took place, along with the presentation of the Hernán Pérez del Pulgar Award. An event that unites research and the Army.

The award in this edition has been given to Lieutenant Colonel Fernando Cid Auñón, Head of the Evacuation Support Unit for more than 2,200 people from Afghanistan through Dubai in 2021, for his work ‘Knowing more about each other, deciding better. How to improve decision-making in operations’.
The purpose of this award is to recognize military research, promoting the spirit of research and analysis among members of the Army through the various works presented, focusing on doctrine, materials, teaching, instruction systems, training, evaluation for combat application, or institutional matters of the Army’s weapons, bodies, and specialties.
