He was married to Isabel Sarmiento, belonging to a distinguished family of the city.[3] He did his primary and secondary studies in the city, and began his military career around 1865, serving as Álferez in the Paraguayan war.[4] Years later he was promoted to Lieutenant colonel, serving in the Conquest of the Desert as the commander of the 3rd Battalion Infantry.[5]

In 1882 Supisiche was promoted to Colonel, being part in the expedition of the Chaco, led by Benjamín Victorica in 1884.[6] A year later was promoted to General de brigada.
