Abstract

The analysis of the internal environment, expressed in the National Defense Policy, makes evident the Ministry of Defense's concern with the country's border regions, especially those where there are demographic gaps, low levels of economic activity and are subject to illicit activities of a nature transnational.The region of Corumbá- Ladario/MS, on the border with the Bolivian cities of Puerto Quijarro and Puerto Suarez, fits perfectly into this situation. The 6th Naval District Command and the 18th Border Infantry Brigade are based in that region. These two organizations make use of several vessels, which are essential for the fulfillment of their operational missions in the Pantanal environment, in favor of the defense of national interests. The Ladário River Base is the Brazilian Navy's military organization responsible for the maintenance of naval resources subordinated to the Command of the 6th Naval District, having specialized labor and adequate industrial facilities, including a dry dock, unique in the region, and a career of beach. The purpose of this work, in line with what is foreseen in the National Defense Strategy, is to analyze the opportunities for increasing logistical integration and interoperability between the Forces in that region, through better use of the industrial capacities of the Ladário River Base, also absorbing the maintenance of vessels linked to the 18th Border Infantry Brigade.
