Chile's armed forces are subject to civilian control exercised by the president through the Minister of Defense. Military service of 12 to 24 months is mandatory for all male citizens upon turning 18. This conscription service can be postponed for educational or religious reasons.

Compulsory military service make a strong reserve force to back the regular Armed Forces in case of war.

You are asking a history question.
I have found that in order to get a better understanding of history, or an A+, you must view history as "He who controls the finances and resources controls the world."
So, the answer to your question could be, "To keep the Head, and the beaurcracy, of the government in control of the finances and resources of Chile through law enforcement and armed force."
I wish you well.
