Spanish Ministry of Defense administrative actions

Overview

The Spanish Ministry of Defense has engaged in several administrative and logistical activities regarding military assets.

In October 2026, the Ministry formalized a contract with the company Hispamast to maintain telescopic communication masts located in the strategic North African enclaves of Alhucemas, the Chafarinas Islands, and Vélez de la Gomera. These enclaves, situated off the Moroccan coast, host permanent Spanish Army garrisons. This maintenance follows a 2021 initiative to upgrade communication systems in response to migratory events in the region.

Additionally, the Ministry announced an auction of various Army vehicles and equipment valued at over €1.8 million. The auction consists of 17 lots, including heavy machinery such as bulldozers and backhoe loaders from the Engineers’ Material Maintenance Park and Center in Guadalajara, as well as electronic components like missile interconnections and klystron valves.
