Operações ribeirinhas: a criação do centro de instrução de operações ribeirinhas com emprego das lanchas de combate, tipo aruanã, nas ações de combate fluvial contra os crimes transfronteiriços no pantanal

Abstract

ABSTRACT RIVERSIDE OPERATIONS: The creation of the River Operations Training Center with the use of Aruanã-type Combat Boats in River Combat actions against cross-border crimes in the Pantanal The objective of this study is to demonstrate the importance of the existence of Naval Power in the Pantanal region for carrying out Riverine Operations. Starting from the hypothesis of a possible creation of a Riverine Operations Training Center (CIOpRib), since this region offers a favorable environment for carrying out numerous courses aimed at riverine environments. As specific objectives, we sought to understand the importance of armored combat boats, such as the Aruanã, in supporting the patrolling and combating transnational crimes missions carried out by the Navy. Furthermore, since this area belongs to the Brazilian Navy, it would be of utmost importance to ensure investments to make this Center innovative and pioneering, focused exclusively on training military personnel specialized in tactics and techniques to operate in riverine areas. We sought to explain the capacity and power of armored riverine combat boats, considering how they are used by other countries to combat organized crime. The contributions made by Ribeiro (1993), Proença (1997), Galdino (2006), Kmitta (2010), Gomes (2018), Silva (2018), Vilela (2020) and Souza (2020) will support the understanding of the analyses carried out. In the particular case of Brazil, the existence of a systemic conceptual relationship was found between the theory and the creation of a Riverine Operations Training Center (CIOpRib) and the use of armored combat boats, Aruanã type, in support of patrolling missions and combating transnational crimes. Although they were developed in isolation, when observed from a holistic perspective, they are connected. The methodology used was qualitative.
