Since the early decades of the twentieth century, medical reserve officers have been part of the national defence. Initially as members of the "Escala de Complemento" and nowadays as voluntary reservists, quite a number of Spaniards have been available for almost a century to provide additional medical capabilities to the military, as it is usual in most NATO members. Availability is even realler today, since all of them belong to there serve by their own choice, thereby expressing their right and duty to defend Spain. From 2007 on, Medical Service Corps reserve officers were assigned, among others corps, to the Military Emergency Unit to fulfill their duties, but not till 2012 one of them was deployed abroad. It may be said that this assignment fully implemented the professional military model.
