    The Orden Militar de la Constancia (The Military Order of Loyalty)

    was created in 1946, but is one of the least known and studied of the Spanish

    military decorations, as it belonged to the Spanish Protectorate in Morocco.

    One of its main characteristics was that it was bestowed only on long-serving

    Moroccan officers (Caids) of the Protectorate Khalifian Army. This personnel

    was included in the different military and security units, such as the

    Mehal-las, the Mejaznías and the Khalifa’s Personal Guard, which, although

    managed and administered by the Majzen (the Khalifian Government), were

    nonetheless subordinated to the Spanish Executive and Interventors of the

    Protectorate. This paper analyzes the creation and legislative evolution of

    the Order in its two categories (medal and plaque) during its nine years

    of existence, as well as the process and peculiarities of its concession, and

    also the profile and origin of the beneficiaries. The complete list of all the

    individuals who entered the Order in all its categories is provided, as well as

    unpublished images of this decoration.
