Manual De Ademanes Y Toques | Militares Edicion 1999 38.pdf [top]

The 1999 edition is unique because it incorporates lessons from peacekeeping operations (PKOs) of the 1990s (e.g., Bosnia, Kosovo, Somalia). Traditional WWII-era gestures were too simplistic for disengagement rules or hostile checkpoint scenarios . This manual likely introduced specific gestures for "Vehicles approaching," "Children present," or "Journalist approaching."

The manual establishes the official signals (ademanes) and bugle/drum calls (toques) used for communication and ceremonial purposes within different military branches: Colegio de Bachilleres del Estado de Tamaulipas (COBAT) Toques by Branch: Infantería (Infantry): 90 calls plus 4 for special operations. Caballería (Cavalry): Artillería (Artillery): Arma Blindada (Armored Branch): Manual De Ademanes Y Toques Militares Edicion 1999 38.pdf
