Abstract

The article discusses the theme of defense logistics, presenting the fundamentals of logistics process management. Considerations are presented on the logistic doctrine and the transformation process of the Brazilian Army, as well as guiding questions on the socioeconomic evaluation of logistic projects through the application of integrated models of actions in the territory, to be conceived and evaluated according to their capacity to attend the project needs. Important challenges stand out in the work, from the conception and implementation, to the operation and evaluation of logistics projects, aiming to produce a certain goal of satisfactory economic growth to fund and remunerate them. Regarding logistics and transportation factors, the importance of expanding the State's presence in more distant regions is emphasized, aiming to make the most of the advantages gained by the flexibility inherent to the mode of transport evaluated. The public policies and governmental actions based on land in the area are crucial to promote the region's development.
