Abstract
NARANJO GARCIA, J.F.. Sub-officials of the Auxiliary Corps of Military Pharmacy Practitioners (1945-1989). Sanid. Mil. [online]. 2015, vol.71, n.3, pp.210-213. ISSN 1887-8571. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1887-85712015000300011.
The army counts on two groups of NCOs to support the roles of doctors and pharmacists: the technicians. Those of the former group were studied in a previous article. This second article looks to encompass the trajectory of the latter group. The current pharmaceutical assistants, belonging to the basic NCO grade, are the descendants of militia medical professionals; although they are as old as warfare itself, their official incorporation into the military didn't come about until 1945, as the fruit of a great historical legacy and they continue into the present day, carrying out an invisible labour amongst the NCO grades. Their name has changed, but not their work. This is their little history.
