The Princess of Asturias has started a new stage of her military training at the General Air and Space Academy. After her time in Zaragoza and at the Naval School of Marín, Leonor now faces her third year in San Javier, Murcia. This is a key moment in her preparation before taking on future institutional responsibilities.
The arrival of the heir to the Murcian center has sparked interest both academically and socially. Her presence at the academy marks a new chapter in the training process designed for her. The course is full of symbolism and features new developments that haven't gone unnoticed.
A special start to the school year in San Javier
The General Air and Space Academy, located in Murcia, welcomes the Princess of Asturias this year for her third year of training. After her time in Zaragoza and Marín, Leonor completes her instruction in the Air and Space branch in San Javier. This is a significant moment in her military preparation, with an eye on the future role she will play.
The presence of the princess has caused anticipation both inside and outside the academy. Local residents and national media are closely following her first steps in Murcia. The coincidence of her stay with security operations has added more interest to this stage.
The military center has wanted to keep normalcy in its routines. Even so, the deployment of measures shows that the goal is to guarantee maximum protection. The fact that the academy is next to the Mar Menor makes it necessary to control a very busy area.
Security reinforcement with a perimeter fence
The rumor circulating in San Javier about new measures at the Air Academy has now become reality. The military center has confirmed the installation of an 8 ft. 2 in. (2.5 meters) high metal fence in the most exposed area of the facility. The structure will be reinforced with barbed wire and vehicle access points, aiming to secure the coastal perimeter that until now had remained open to free passage.
The project, valued at 181,860.20 euros, will be carried out over a period of five months. The awarding of the responsible company is still pending, but the project has already been approved. This is an investment that seeks to balance security, strength, and durability against the marine environment.
The measure coincides with the arrival of Leonor in San Javier. Although it is emphasized that the project addresses a previous need, it is inevitable to associate it with her presence. The priority is to prevent unauthorized access and reduce risks in a particularly sensitive area.
New internal control systems
The security reinforcement is not limited to the perimeter fence. The academy will also add an X-ray scanner in the package room. This technology will allow for the inspection of shipments and the detection of dangerous objects before they enter the facilities.
The decision responds to the need to modernize control protocols. The increase in activity and the importance of Leonor's course make it essential to guarantee security on all fronts. San Javier officials emphasize that these are preventive, not reactive, measures.
The new device will be managed by the Personnel and Security Group of the military center. Its function will be to systematically inspect all mail. The goal is to further shield the academy's daily life in a year marked by the presence of the heir.
