Abstract

This monograph discusses the change in the paradigm of employment of the Brazilian Army, from 2004, when the complementary law 117, as subsidiary action, attributed for its police power to prevent and repress cross-border and environmental crimes at the land border belt. Before that, the employment of troops only occurred in the context of external defense. This research sought to verify if there have been impacts specifically on training/preparation of the troops of the Amazon military command, based in the State of Amazonas, to the external defense and found that really happened. Both operational military organization itself, as the military that integrate are heavily impacted by this new paradigm, the point of act as border police and/or environmental police virtually on a permanent basis and to think and act no more as soldiers preparing for war, but as officers, instead of the enemy, fighting the criminal. Therefore, a serious distortion is configured, which will surely bring irreparable damage to the defense, once that materializes a detour of purpose of the Brazilian Army, before everything, to defend the homeland, and that nothing and no one should prejudice the preparation of its men and women to carry out this assignment. Finally, urges that the Amazon Military Command redirecting the activities of its troops on the border in the State of Amazonas, under fail if not to do, when the homeland require of its professionals of the weapons the defense of the Amazon.
