Conscripts are trained in basic combat with fire weapons, in one Infantry Battalion. Their formation was brought about after German submarine attacks against Mexican oil tankers that were providing fuel and material to the Allies. These attacks eventually caused the Mexican government to declare war on Germany. Mexico sent an expeditionary force, the Escuadrón 201, to fight in the Pacific War.
