This article studies the use of military engineering in civil infrastructure works by the Lula government during its first two terms in office (2003-2010). To this end, two objectives were set: to compare this use in relation to the other governments of the military and democratic periods, with 1965 as the starting point; and to apply the multiple flow analysis model (windows of opportunity) to try to explain the reason for this use by the Lula government. The work was divided into two main parts: a quantitative analysis, in which there was a comparison between governments in order to individualize the period of the Lula government; and a qualitative analysis, based on three works in which the Army was involved, in which an explanation was sought for this distinction. As a result, the research identified a phenomenon, characterized by the large budget allocated to the Army to carry out infrastructure works in the period analyzed, and the characteristics of the flows that opened a window of opportunity for the use of military engineering.
