Amaro's efforts to reform the Mexican military and society extended beyond the realm of military education: he also founded publications that combatted the influence of the Catholic Church and of large landowners in the public consciousness. He had already founded two publications, "Acción" and "El Agrarista", as well as publishing a tract entitled "El Gato" in the early 1920s. However, 1925 saw a large increase in the number of military journals published in Mexico. Those already in existence, such as the "Revista del Ejército y de la Marina" (Magazine of the Army and the Navy), took a new editorial stance under the direction of Professor Ignacio Richkarday, who Amaro had appointed editor, to moralize the army. While "Revista" was aimed at the officer corps, Amaro founded "El Soldado", which emphasized the same themes, as a supplement for enlisted men. 1926 saw the founding of two more publications, "Revista del Heróico Colegio Militar" and "Gladiador".
