To analyze the economic impact of the Armed Forces on the Spanish economy, in order to transmit to the society the effects arising from the activity undertaken by them.

To estimate the GDP percentage produced by the Armed Forces and the amount of jobs that have been generated. To analyze the direct and indirect effects on the economy, taking into account the Armed Forces as a plaintiff of goods and services from other sectors of the economy, in this way the own activity generates a multiplier effect on the whole economy. To value the induced effect on the economy, that an additional demand of goods and services generate, and which is a benefit to the overall economy. And joint to the tangible effects, to analyze the intangible effects, which means, to analyze the positive side effects, difficult to quantify, that the actions of the Armed Forces generate in the performance of their duties.
