Army opens public competition to fill ten lawyer positions

The Chilean Army has opened a public competition to fill ten officer positions for the Military Justice Service for the year 2026, with a deadline for the submission of credentials until November 12, 2026. The call is issued by the General Personnel Command, through its Personnel Division, and was published in Section IV of the Official Gazette of the Republic of Chile, No. 44,588, on Monday, November 2, 2026, under the official reference CVE 2891516.

The notice appears under the heading of the Ministry of National Defense and the Undersecretariat for the Armed Forces, in the section that the bulletin allocates to “Tenders, competitions, summons, and lost documents.” The insertion occupies a single page and is electronically signed in accordance with Law No. 19,799, with a timestamp and advanced electronic signature, as stated in the published text itself.

This is a call for entry into the professional staff. The document is explicit in its header—“Public competition to fill (10) ten officer positions for the Military Justice Service, year 2026”—and in the body of the call: “The Army calls for applications to the Staff from the following professionals,” followed by the figure “10 (ten) LAWYERS.”

Terms and application deadline

The notice does not detail the requirements, remuneration, or the specifics of the assignments: it expressly refers to the application terms, which interested parties must consult. These details have been available on the institutional website since October 23, 2026.

The access path indicated in the document is as follows:

Website: www.ejercito.cl.
Location: “JOIN THE ARMY” banner, Civil Personnel option.

The publication does not specify the territorial distribution of the ten vacancies nor the calendar of the process stages; both points must be verified in the terms.

A brief notice within the competitions section

The insertion is notably concise: it limits itself to establishing the number of vacancies, the profession called for, the channel for consulting the terms, and the deadline. This conciseness is common in Section IV notices, which are formal in nature: they serve as the official publicity of the administrative act that opens the process, while the development of the conditions remains rooted in the application instrument published by the institution.

For the interested reader, reference CVE 2891516 allows for the identification of the full notice in the copy of the Official Gazette dated November 2, 2026, and the verification of its authenticity on the bulletin’s website, as indicated by the document itself through the advanced electronic signature system.

Impact for interested lawyers

The call offers ten officer positions within the field of military justice, an entry route to the Staff distinct from the regular military career and limited to legal professionals. The window for action is narrow: applications are accepted until November 12, 2026, and the guidelines have been in effect since October 23; therefore, anyone aspiring to one of the positions must immediately review the requirements at www.ejercito.cl and prepare their documentation within that timeframe.
