description Through Decree Law number 5 of September 12, 1973, the Chilean military specified that the “State of Siege decreed by internal commotion” should be understood as “State or Time of War”. In this way, and once the coup d'état of Tuesday September 11 was consolidated, the Military Junta and the Armed Forces undertook an institutional process aimed at legitimizing military action, fighting Marxism and eliminating the "internal enemy", using for this, all the instruments and mechanisms available to combat its presence in the country. A certain legality was adapted and adopted and, above all, a new institutional framework for this total and permanent struggle against Marxism and its supporters. It was in this context of political and institutional violence that the Military Bands and the Decree Law operated as devices, that is, a network of power relations that were structuring a legal and punitive framework aimed at justifying the repression and elimination of opponents of the regime.

In this way, and once the coup d'état of Tuesday September 11 was consolidated, the Military Junta and the Armed Forces undertook an institutional process aimed at legitimizing military action, fighting Marxism and eliminating the "internal enemy", using for this, all the instruments and mechanisms available to combat its presence in the country.

A través del Decreto Ley número 5 del 12 de septiembre de 1973 los militares chilenos especificaron que el “Estado de Sitio decretado por conmoción interna” debía entenderse como “Estado o Tiempo de Guerra”. De esa forma, y una vez consolidado el golpe de Estado del martes 11 de septiembre, la Junta Militar y las Fuerzas Armadas emprendieron un proceso institucional tendiente a legitimar la acción militar, el combate al marxismo y la eliminación del “enemigo interno”, usando para ello todos los instrumentos y mecanismo a disposición con el fin de combatir su presencia en el país. Se adaptó y adoptó una determinada legalidad y, sobre todo, una nueva institucionalidad para esa lucha total y permanente contra el marxismo y sus partidarios. Fue en este contexto de violencia política e institucional en que operaron los Bandos Militares y los Decretos Ley como dispositivos, es decir, una red de relaciones de poder que fueron estructurando un entramado legal y punitivo tendiente a justificar la represión y eliminación de los opositores al régimen.
