Over the past two decades, the role of the Honduran military within the country has changed dramatically. An important milestone was achieved in 1999 when the Honduran Constitution was changed to recognize the president as the official head of the military, giving the officeholder the right to name senior military officers. That same year saw the appointment of the country's first real civilian defense head, who began working to make the Honduran military a more professional and transparent institution. The power of the military within society was further limited by the Ley Constitutiva de las Fuerzas Armadas (Constitutive Law of the Armed Forces) in April 2001, which codified the idea that the military is subject to the Constitution and laws of the nation.
