Uma estrutura militar de guerra do século XXI e seus impactos para a Marinha do Brasil

Abstract

The Military War Command St ructure (MWCS ) objectifies the Military Power organization , in order to be employed in cr isis or military conflict . It is composed by a n organ izational command chain, distributed across political, strategic, operational and tactical levels . Its purpose is to ensure the existence of a perfect and permanent adher ence between political level decisions, strategic objectives and military actions cond ucted by operational and tactical levels. The main requirement to be attended by the MWCS is to make feasible a fast evolution from peace state to crisis or war, including those called “new threats”: terrorism, transnational criminality, piracy and so on. The establishment of a new MCWS is justified in fact because Brazil still ha s the 1980 ́ s structure, born in an overcome strategic context . This explanation is in fact reinforced because a Defense Military Structure (DMS) has been adop ted in 2005, aiming in substitute the MWCS, after being improved and consolidated. This work i s done in order to offer subsidy for a new MWCS, built over the DMS experimental basis and coherent with the political -strategic scenery in 21.st century beginning, that point s toward s an increasing Brazilian insertion in the international system as a heavy actor, and shows diffuse threats to national interests and sovereignty, as well as a high degree of unpredictabili ty. In a ddition, it has got the objective to evaluate the impingeme nts caused to Sea Power by this new structure. In the work development , historical data were searched inside German and Allied Second Worl d War (II WW) MWCS, A merican Vietnam War MWCS, and in own B razilian MWCS historical evolution too. Data has been taken from three nowadays foreign MWCS: American, Spanish and French. The MWCS requirements defined by highest level defense planning documents were checked out , and the same done with information obtained during military exercises conducted under DMS experimen tal employment from 2005 to 2009 and with Ministry of Defense studies towards improving it. Last but not least , special concerning about the political -strategic scenario visualized by Defense National Strategy was done. Up to the research work a MWCS model is formulated and in order to its adoption the indoctrination, administrative , operational and logistic al impacts over Brazili an Navy a re verified.
