Army:
18 Infantry Divisions
6 Cavalry Divisions
2 Cavalry Regiments
Presidential Division (2 Infantry Regiments, and 2 Cavalry Regiments)
3 Army Artillery Regiments
1 Army Engineer Battalion
Mech Battalion: A company of six Marmon-Harrington CTVL tankettes, a motorized infantry company and a motorized AA battery with truck-mounted Hotchkiss 13.2 mm twin AA machine guns.
Air Force:
24 MS406s from France.
The first aviation regiment (established in 1926) was located at Balbuena and had 3 squadrons :
1 with 10 Bristol F2.B fighters
1 with 12 Vought O2U Corsair
1 with 10 Douglas O2.
A second air regiment had been established in 1931, with domestic-built Vought Corsairs, of which a total of 31 were produced under licence by Azcárate.
Some Grumman G-23 two seat fighters and some Spartan Zeus and Waco D6 light bombers were bought during the 1930s, plus a few Consolidated PT-3 and Fleet 21 primary and half a dozen Ryan STM advanced trainers.
Also 21 Bellace 28-90-B Flash intended for delivery to the Spanish Republican Government were bought by the Mexican Government in 1939, as the planes had been abandoned in Veracruz when the Republican government went into exile.
The air regiments were replaced by 6 independent squadrons on 20 January 1940.
