This article studies the renegades in the War of Chile or of Arauco between the end of the sixteenth century and the first decades of the seventeenth century. These were the men who deserted the Spanish military forces to join the Mapuche rebels, to whom they provided tactical information, as well as making their knowledge and war experience available to them. The reasons for their flight, their reception in Mapuche society and their roles as soldiers as well as cultural mediators are discussed. Along with analyzing the scarce information that exists about them, written from the Spanish side that considered them traitors and apostates, it is suggested that their full incorporation into Mapuche society depended on becoming a part of an indigenous lineage, which granted them all the rights and obligations that the admapu contemplated, which greatly weakened their presence within the rebel lands, since it relied on the protection a war chief could give them.

Labor mobility is common in certain professions, including the Armed Forces. Military people have to assume several changes of assignment along their carriers and, sometimes, these changes implies geographical mobility. In these situations, when the military has a partner and /or children can take two alternatives. The first is to move just the military to the new location, creating a living apart together model (LAT) and, the second, is when the couple or the whole family move together, creating a cohabiting model. This article has the objective of studying the presence and features of the LAT Model and the Cohabiting Model in the Spanish Armed Forces. To this end, a methodology was designed based on the survey technique with a self-administered questionnaire structured from three thematic areas (sociodemographic, military and opinion) and which was spread by different associations of military and families of Spanish military. The results show which are the main variables that affect the decision to choose one or other of two models (labor, economic and family) and how each model of living affect the couple and the children.
