Corpo de Fuzileiros Navais em operações sob a égide de organismos multilaterais internacionais no Golfo da Guiné: perspectivas da condição do Brasil como aliado extra-OTAN dos Estados Unidos da América

Abstract

The objective of this work is to identify the perspectives and opportunities for the Brazilian Marine Corps, resulting from the designation of Brazil as a Major Non-NATO Ally of the United States of America , which contribute to an eventual participation in operations in the Brazilian strategic environment, under the aegis of international multilateral organizations. An exploratory research was carried out that examined the documentation and bibliographies related to national defense, as well as manifestations of the international actors relevant to the study, with emphasis on primary sources. The work also explores the South Atlantic as part of the strategic Brazilian environment, with an emphasis on protecting the Blue Amazon, as well as indicating aspects that attract Brazilian action in the Gulf of Guinea and the troops with a penchant for employment in this type of environment. It identifies the multilateral actors with Brazilian participation who have already expressed interest in the security of the region, in the same way that it presents the American activities in the area. As a result, it suggests opportunities for the participation of members of the Marine Corps in activities that can increase the expeditionary capacity of this portion of the Brazilian Armed Forces.
