Army of the Three Guarantees
The team was led by José Manuel Zozaya, whom Torrens substituted in May 1823. As chargé d'affaires of Mexico to the United States, Torrens endured economic hardships but actively reported on the United States' territorial ambitions. He was substituted the following year by Colonel Pablo Obregón, a veteran of the Army of the Three Guarantees, and transferred to South America, where he was appointed chargé d'affaires of Mexico to Colombia.
