III Military Region (Spain)

They were thirteen regions: Andalusia, Aragon, Burgos, Canary Islands, Castilla la Vieja, Catalonia, Extremadura, Galicia, Coast of Granada, Guipúzcoa, Mallorca, Navarra and Valencia.

After the proclamation of the Second Republic, a government decree dissolved the military regions and replaced them with Organic Divisions.

[2] In July 1936, the head of the III Organic Division was brigadier general Fernando Martínez-Monje Restoy.

That night of February 23, Milans del Bosch took to the streets of Valencia with 1,800 military personnel and 60 tanks, which were broadcast on television.

[5] The city was surrounded by soldiers with armored vehicles and other army trucks that had left the bases of Bétera and Paterna.
