Abstract
The beginning of the Carlist War surprised Liberals as they did not have a military organization that could help them. Carlist had gone ahead, and thouh their precarious structure, they began lifting the first deployments. Liberals did not elaborate their first regulations for its forces until the beginning of 1834. In Santander they had to set up a first military organization to take part in Vargas action with some general guidelines based on what the National Militias had been. However, this decision did not follow the express command of the Government of Madrid, so its implementation had to carry on with the same principle that had sustained the Boards of the Independence War. After the actions of Vargas and Santullan, a Board of Defense which was in charge of organizing the duties of defense, police and communications during the early months of the Carlist War was established.
