In Florida, inactive officers were available for temporary assignment on coastal patrols, emergency details, leadership in the militia, or the deputy governorship of provinces. Known as reformados (officers without command), these men drew the pay of privates plus a small supplement from the bonus fund. It was an arrangement similar to the royal grant of reduced pay (entretenimiento) to an officer on leave, to keep him in the reserves. In most parts of the Indies reformados did guard duty; in Florida they were generally exempt. [Note 14: Council proposals for governor 3/1632] (Bushnell KC)
