Gastadores de la Infanteria de Marina

Spanish naval marine pioneers? Note the 'pioneer' axes on their shoulder emblems.

the term Gastadores appears to have taken on the meaning of 'spenders' or spendthrifts in modern spanish. The military use seems to be what we call 'pioneers'. Pioneers tend to be the only troops allowed to wear beards.
