Formative years

Early career

Before been promoted to captain in 1974, he passed paratroop qualification as a full lieutenant and was transferred to the 4th Airborne Infantry Brigade where he served as a company commander with the 17th Airborne Infantry Regiment.

Major Carlos Carrizo Salvadores distinguished himself in the Battle of Mount Longdon, during the Falklands War, when as Second-in-Command of the 7th Mechanized Infantry Regiment, he defended the Argentine stronghold overlooking Murrel River and later led a platoon of conscripts to recover the lost positions on Wireless Ridge.
