Abstract
This article discusses the challenges to the Brazilian Army at the border strip, with emphasis on the Amazon, based on an interdisciplinary theoretical-conceptual approach. Conceptually, the highlight is the distinctive nature of the two notions of border (border and frontier) and the significance of each of them in terms of defense and security. For this purpose, the paper suggests dividing national security threats into two categories: geopolitical threats and security threats. Based on this theoretical approach and considering the border territorial policies historically adopted by Brazil, the article discusses the military challenges at Amazonian borders, analyzing the main military strategies adopted for that region.
