The Army of Arauco (Spanish: Ejército de Arauco) was a professional army in the service of the kings of Spain that was based in Spanish-Mapuche frontier, south-central Chile, during the 16th to 19th centuries. It was notable for being a rare example of a standing army in the Americas. The army was established after the disastrous Destruction of the Seven Cities (1598–1604) to fight in the Arauco War against anti-Spanish Mapuche coalitions. The army was financed by silver from Potosí, in a payment called Real Situado. With the army headquarters being in Concepción this city became the "military capital" of Chile.

  • The Army of Arauco (Spanish: Ejército de Arauco) was a professional army in the service of the kings of Spain that was based in Spanish-Mapuche frontier, south-central Chile, during the 16th to 19th centuries. It was notable for being a rare example of a standing army in the Americas. The army was established after the disastrous Destruction of the Seven Cities (1598–1604) to fight in the Arauco War against anti-Spanish Mapuche coalitions. The army was financed by silver from Potosí, in a payment called Real Situado. With the army headquarters being in Concepción this city became the "military capital" of Chile. The Army of Arauco shaped the economy of southern Chile as it created a demand for wine and it meant an inflow of silver. This stimulated the Chilean wine industry as well as the Mapuche silverwork tradition. In addition Guaraní indians serving the army are thought to have helped establish the custom of drinking yerba mate in southern Chile. (en)

Fueron las fuerzas armadas de la Capitanía General de Chile a partir de 1604 para combatir contra los Mapuches en la Guerra de Arauco. Eran fuerzas profesionales entrenadas, armadas y pagadas por el Virrey del Perú, formadas por soldados españoles o criollos con contingentes de yanaconas o indios auxiliares. A cargo de estas fuerzas estaba la defensa de la frontera entre el territorio español y el territorio mapuche, a lo largo del Río Biobío mediante una serie de fortalezas. Su comandante máximo era el gobernador de Chile. Su centro de operaciones estaba en Concepción. (es)
