Guerra das Malvinas: os ensinamentos para políticas estratégicas de defesa e preparo militar do Brasil à luz das Operações Anfíbias do CFN

Abstract

It is up to historians, according to the teachings of the Roman politician Marco Túlio Cícero, to keep history present in their time as a teacher of life. In this way, we sought to understand, through the lessons that can be extracted from the Falklands War, how to maintain a National Defense Policy in the face of so many challenges. Since ancient times, the seas have been fundamental for human survival and through them a large portion of the world economy is drained. Therefore, there were several disputes for its hegemony according to the case cited. Faced with these interests, often strategic, we researched Operation Rosário and Operation Corporate, which bring some important lessons to countries that have a large coastline and archipelagos well positioned in the oceans. In this way, it was perceived the need to analyze how essential it is for Brazil to keep its National Defense Strategy evolving and, also, to continue developing all projects of this nature, which enable its strategists to be able to execute a basic tool which is the ability to deter. Thus, the Brazilian Armed Forces today have the Marine Corps, which has as its identity the ability to perform multiple tasks, among them, Amphibious Operations. Therefore, in order to project power from the sea to the land and defend the national interests of Brazil, holder of great natural resources, the continuous development of a Naval Power is measured by the White Book of National Defense. Meanwhile, Brazilian society must be increasingly inserted in this process through activities proposed by military institutions and, above all, that the lessons learned from the Malvinas War can increasingly strengthen Brazil.
