Flores served as Commander of the Panamanian National Guard following the death of General Omar Torrijos on 31 July 1981. Colonel Flores assumed command of the Panamanian military, but unlike his predecessor or his successors, he did not exercise his power as a military leader of Panama. He was displaced in March 1982 by Colonel Rubén Darío Paredes.[3]
