Abstract

Argentina is a case of analysis of great interest, in defense policy. It has standards and general organization corresponding to this area, modern and adequate. It has made significant progress in civil-military relations. However, its military instrument is characterized by the obsolescence of its material means, which in some cases reaches a virtual impossibility to operate, with serious maintenance flaws; and for a very low enlistment condition. In terms of personnel, and despite providing good training and improvement to its staff, it presents difficulties, possessing a number of incomplete military units, and disproportions in the number of personnel corresponding to various military ranks, among other aspects. The work analyzes the causes of such circumstances, and makes a brief comparison with other regional cases, such as Chile and Brazil.
