The acquisition of new armored by the Brazilian Army brought great repercussions in the preparation of human resources devoted to these military use of means. In this context, the Armored Training Center was important piece in mudançade mentality and adaptations that have taken place in education of staff.


The mechanized infantry and the modernization of the Mechanized Cavalry, driven by the Strategic Project Army Guarani (PEE Guarani) and combined with the deployment Leopard Project, constitute milestone in the transformation process of the Land Force. However, for these troops reach full operational capacity, it is necessary that, besides their doctrine, organization, infrastructure and suitable material, are composed of military possess the required skills. Since the arrival of the first car of the Leopard family and M60 in 1996, the adoption of new armored vehicles by the Land Force reflected comprehensively in the preparation of human resources, are geared to employment in campaign or the logistics of maintenance. This reality prompted the development of a new mentality, adapted to technology and the possibilities of the material, directing the statement to be made as closely and realistically as possible. In this process, the Training Center of Armored (CI Bld) was important piece. The CI Bld CI Bld is an educational establishment (EE) specialization in upper and middle degrees of education Military Ordnance Line, under the 6th Brigade Armored Infantry. It is linked to the Directorate of Technical Education Military, técnicopedagógica for orientation purposes, and the Command of Land Operations, for planning purposes, coordination, evaluation and implementation of educational activities and training of armored and mechanized fractions. Among other regulatory missions is to contribute to the development of military doctrine in the area of their competence. As the body responsible for matters relating to education and training of armored and mechanized vehicles trims, and employment of armored and mechanized military equipment, has the task of cooperating with other military organizations (OM) and army EE. For this, Minister internships and ongoing operation, maintenance and tactical employment.Operation of the mechanized and armored Operation courses enable officers and NCOs to perform common procedures to all members of the vehicles linings in a combat situation and allow obtain a detailed understanding of the possibilities and limitations of the armored and mechanized means, contributing to an efficient job.During the instruction, are developed values and attitudes inherent in armored and mechanized troops, enabling students to multiply in the Om Troop Corps, the acquired knowledge and developed skills. Maintenance of armored and mechanized Since 2011, the CI went Bld to be responsible for the mechanical expertise of armored and mechanized vehicles. From that date, adopted the system of specific teaching for every type of vehicle, specializing mechanical chassis and mechanical weapons systems.Currently the CI Bld held on an annual basis, the specialization of mechanics to all mechanized and armored existing in the Brazilian Army (EB). Tactical Employment mechanized and armored troops Tactical courses enable the students to the performance of activities related to the tactical employment subunits and small fractions of mechanized and armored troops, enabling them to apply modern tactics, techniques and procedures. The tactical expertise has also aimed to empower students to advisory units and subunits commanders on matters relating to tactics mechanized and armored troops operations and seeks to arouse interest in research geared for professional self-improvement. The Armored Instruction Sections of The Armored instruction sections are idealized structures belong to the armored and mechanized OM in order to meet the new technical demands / operational troop and have, among others, the following purposes: - multiply the expertise acquired during the educational activities in CI Bld, assisting in the technical qualification of armored linings of OM; - keep up to date knowledge about equipment and vehicles - armored or not, national or international - that have relevance to the scene of the armored combat; - disseminate new techniques and instructional aids, both proposed by CI Bld as those developed by OM own; - Be a technical connection between the armored troops and the CI Bld; - centralizing staff and aids in order to improve the quality of instruction that require greater specificity; and - standardize technical and tactical procedures on armored CI Bld, fulfilling their regulatory missions, is directly involved in the preparation of human resources for armored and mechanized troops, making use of information technology tools and frameworks, such as Sections. instruction Armour, to disseminate and integrate knowledge.

During the year 2013, in support of the Department of Science and Technology (research and development activities), the IC Bld held a series of activities concerning the training of the teaching staff and, on an emergency basis, OM military members involved in PEE Guarani, creating conditions for the receipt of vehicles. As for the training of the teaching staff were held one Familiarization Course, Use and Operation VBTP-MR 6X6 Guarani, with two weeks duration, taught by Iveco-LA on the premises of Army Evaluation Center (Caex), complemented with a week of hands-on activities that occurred on the premises of Armored Training Center. From these training activities, the CI Bld now has two officers and five sergeants enabled the operation of Armored Personnel Carrier Vehicle, Average Guarani Wheels (VBTP-MR Guarani).Subsequently, the Maintenance Course 2nd Echelon's new defense product, four weeks duration with, occurred in the manufacturing facility of Iveco-LA in the city Sete Lagoas (MG), extending the knowledge of new instructional staff and opening doors to educational maintenance. As for the training of military Troop Corps, still in 2013, the CI Bld held three character in training activities emergency. The first was a specific driver training, the Centre's facilities for 25 military, lasting four weeks. The second consisted of an emergency stage operation of VBTP-MR Guarani to 25 officers and sergeants OM members involved in process, lasting three weeks of distance learning and six weeks of classroom teaching. This year of instruction, ended with a 1st level of maintenance stage, the premises of the CI Bld, with the support of Iveco IT experts and directed for mechanical of OM provided to receive or provide maintenance support VBTP-MR. In 2014, there was the training of CI Bld military in the operation of modern components of Command and Control System that will be part of VBTP-MR Guarani, especially for the Battlefield Management System. The same year saw the first editions of the chassis maintenance courses and operation of VBTP-MR Guarani. The first 20 specialized mechanical and lasted ten weeks, three of distance education and seven classroom teaching. This course was attended technical Iveco-LA and the collaboration of Technical and Industrial College of Teachers of Santa Maria. The operation course, held in the second half of 2014 24 specialized officers and sergeants and had a 12-week, and three distance learning and nine classroom teaching. The challenge of preparing the Mechanized Infantry Mechanization Infantry constitutes arguably one of the most significant opportunities for transformation of the Land Force prepared model. However, there are many challenges to overcome. As stated in the Brazilian Army Transformation Process Manual should be considered that the preparation of the Land Force, based on conscription is carried out throughout the instructional year. This has shown improvement opportunities with regard to the development of operational capabilities required by the Army of a country with responsibilities such as those Brazil seeks to take in the international context. In this sense, one should seek a modern and effective preparation model, based on the use of simulation in all its modalities (virtual / synthetic, live and constructive), in order to develop the desired skills, changing, if necessary, the cycles of preparation and employment, in order to centralize and save means and adopt suitable models of the training and certification of obtaining the required capabilities. This entire process is based on the management staff and knowledge. Thus, the IC Bld General Walter Pires, fully aligned with the Brazilian Army transformation process, seeks to provide a prompt response to the demands of the Land Force, through training professionals, contribution to the development of doctrine, cooperation with other military organizations and educational institutions, knowledge management and timely advice on the preparation of armored and mechanized troops, while focusing on its mission since 1996, is to be the "Forge Armored Fighting in Brazil"

The new doctrinal conception of Earth Force and Mechanization
The Age of Knowledge is an undeniable reality and the Brazilian Army seeks its transformation to insert this new dimension of the world stage

The Guarani Project

The creation of skills and capabilities to meet a new spectrum of activities, with a new concept of effectiveness to meet the new threats, it has become necessary way to the Brazilian Army (EB) guide their employment. In this mister, the Military Doctrine Earth, one of the vectors of the Army Transformation Process, has an essential role by presenting an indispensable dynamism to meet the demands of a world in which the nature of conflicts has a volatile and impregnated character of new technologies that ultimately determine the participation of society. Faced with a future less and less predictable, dealing with uncertainty became the challenge. The blurring environment worsens when there is a clearly defined opponent to motivate society to defense issues. The fight against terrorism, the protection of society against weapons of mass destruction, participation in peace-keeping missions under the aegis of international organizations and the control population groups or scarce resources (energy, water or food) become - is unequivocal aspects of possible employment of the military in defense of the Brazilian State The new dimension of war estament with features. odd emergence and permanence, requires allocation of materials with added technology and personnel training so that its structure has flexibility, adaptability, modularity, flexibility and sustainability, to act in the broad spectrum of operations. In this context, in which the operational readiness is the degree of effectiveness achieved by the doctrine put into action. The delimiters fields of conflict today (human, informational and physical) have a significant impact on the tax mode of operation of the military, including changing the military use material (MEM). The lethality of the military should be selective and effective, based on the use of materials enhanced by technology surrounding the world we live in. This environment completely changes the conditions for the decision of the commanders in activity. The focus of the operating environment analysis was concentrated on the physical dimension, considering the preponderance of terrain and weather factors on operations. Variations in the character and nature of the conflict, resulting from technological and social changes, impose a view that also considers the influence of human and informational dimensions of military operations and vice versa. In line with the National Strategy of Defense and the Doctrine the Armed Forces of most Western countries, the EB will adopt force generation through Based Scheduling Capabilities. . It is understood as the ability required capacity to a force or a military organization that can fulfill specific mission or task is obtained from a set of seven determinants, interrelated and inseparable that form the acronym DOAMEPI: doctrine, organization (and / or processes), training, material, education, personnel and infrastructure. Thus, capacity development will be underpinned by the analysis of the situation and future scenarios in order to identify concrete and potential threats to the state. As a reflection of the importance of the human dimension, it is necessary to adopt solutions that prioritize the reduction of the cost in human lives, human protection and the preservation of mental and physical well-being, for example, personal protective equipment, armored platforms and active and passive protection systems. In this light, and given that determines the vision of society on the intrinsic value of the war, the EB decided to adopt the new concept of armored vehicle for its mechanized troops, ie the New Family wheels Armored (NFBR), which has, in Guarani car, its clear definition of development MEM from the effort spearheaded by the domestic industry. The development of the Guarani car aims to meet the necessary transformation of the Motorized Infantry Brigade in Mechanized and imposing modernization of Brigades Mechanized Cavalry. The proposal to replace the Cascavel and Urutu cars, manufactured by Engesa in the 1980s, rescues the concept of operation as a basic objective of the Ground Force that falls in the Knowledge Era. We highlight the observance of the new concept of situational awareness so that Cars members of this NFBR can contribute effectively to the objectives it sets itself, for allowing the command and control of operations in support of tactical commander, be fully met. Brazil is facing a new concept of employment of the defense forces , based on alignment with its doctrine practiced by countries considered first world. The Pilot Project that is being implemented at the 15th Mechanized Infantry Brigade account initially with the distribution of Guarani vehicles to furnish the Units value battalion. How are great robustness of vehicles and high value-added technology, definitely belong in the EB Age Knowledge and can prepared human resources in various areas of expertise and enable the concept of tactical employment of fractions intended for homeland defense and assistance to international organizations in peacekeeping operations. The vehicles will have command and control system, offering software management of the battlefield interface with C² Combat System, wireless external communication framework for voice traffic, data and images, and be fully integrated into the electronic structure and the weapon system. The latter, depending on the version, may have a manual tower, remotely controlled with 30 mm cannon, remotely controlled machine gun, or a tower with 105 mm cannon for the Recognition Armored Car -. Average Wheels (VBR-MR) In the latter case, there is REMAX tower, manufactured by ARES company, located in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro (RJ), in partnership with the Army Technology Center. REMAX allows the use of .50 and 7.62 mm machine gun and four 76 mm Grenade launchers, the former being remotely controlled weapons station manufactured and developed in Brazil, providing security and efficiency to garrison the vehicle, particularly in operations urban, perfectly adjusted with the thinking of people about the minimization of damage to life and the selectivity of weapon systems. Undoubtedly, the doctrinal evolution of EB, true transformational change concepts found in mechanization and the Guarani Project, the driving springs to catapult the expected range of bold goals in the Knowledge Era. The proposed hegemonic position in the South American scenario was facilitated at the proactivity that Brazil took on the road to transform the thought of defense in everyday reality. The defense industry as a partner of the Army and society as a beneficiary of this change process are supporters of a power Brazil.
