This article analyzes the impact of the supply chain on the preparation and deployment of Air Force Infantry troops in Law and Order Assurance (GLO – Garantia de Lei e Ordem) operations. The methodology combined bibliographic, documentary, and field research, focusing on specific regulations of the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) and the Army, in order to establish a comparative baseline for the materials prescribed in official manuals and used in such operations. The lack of critical equipment was found to impact both the preparation and deployment of troops. An analysis of the legislation and official documents revealed that only 21% of the necessary items are systematically provided, which forces units to make decentralized acquisitions. Applying the Theory of Constraints, FAB’s supply chain was identified as the main limitation. The study concludes that efficient management of material resources is essential for the readiness and efficiency of units, and that improvements in the supply chain are necessary to ensure the success of future operations.
