The Puerto Rican Volunteers Corps (Instituto de Voluntarios de Puerto Rico in Spanish) was a militia composed of private citizens principally instituted for the defense of Puerto Rico’s periphery from pirate incursions and foreign invasion. In principle the volunteers were characterized by their unwavering loyalty to the Spanish Crown and Empire and as such were subject to compulsory membership in the Partido Incondicionalmente Español (The Spanish Unconditional Party).
