Abstract

In Brazil, the Army has been recurrently employed by the Federal Government to carry out activities that, by its nature, would have traditionally been carried out by other State agencies. However, even though this is admittedly a national problem, there are no signs of change. For this reason, the article aimed to discuss the peculiarities of the Army's activities in Brazil, highlighting how the functions traditionally performed by the military go far beyond preparing for war. From a methodological perspective, a theoretical perspective was adopted based on the concept of strategic culture and the geopolitical conditions of the Brazilian territory, a bibliographic review and consultation of defense documents and military manuals were carried out, which helped to understand the process of building the multitasking profile. As a result, a Trinitarian model of EB performance is proposed, representing a strategic Brazilian culture, which relates the participation of the Army to the process of building the national state.
