On the day of declaring war, Chile mobilized two divisions to the border regions and announced nationwide mobilization.
Being a country with a decent army, there are currently five divisions of regular troops and 100,000 reserves.
If the nation is mobilized, it could arm at least ten divisions, yielding over 150,000 combat troops.
Due to the proximity of the two nations, Argentina swiftly received news of Chile's declaration of war.
With the situation developing as it has, both nations had made some preparations for war and quickly deployed large numbers of troops upon the declaration of war.
Argentina had made more thorough preparations and some reserves had already joined the army.
At present, the Argentine combat force exceeds 100,000, half of which were located at the Argentine-Chilean border, with the other half on the way.
"Enlist in the army, defend the Motherland!"
"Your great homeland is behind you, fight for your homeland and family!"
