Abstract

The increase of the Brazilian presence in Peace Op erations, mainly in the period from 1989 to 1999, represented a significant change in the behavior of Brazil’s international relations, showing that it is a valua ble instrument to the international projection, which first move started with the League of Nations and spread to its successor the United Nations, being followed until our days. Understandi ng the relevance of this theme, this author tended to do a study that could identify the purpos e of the necessity of the creation a CALOC for support to the Forces in Operations of Paz. It is stood out that the study considered the possibility of the Brazilian participation in more than an Operation of Paz, at the same time.Military logistic to support a Peace Force Ope ration is not simple and demands significant effort of preparation and use of the co mponents of the three Armed Forces in Brazil. Their own planning, execution and control m ust add up efforts, compatible procedures and integrate actions, in a way to obtain effective ness and greater efficiency in its result. The analysis from the previous wars and conflicts show that even though success happened in isolated actions from this or that Armed Force, the integration of the naval forces, terrestrial and aerial obtained as consequence great victories and conquers. Nowadays, it is inconceivable the development of a conflict or war without the Armed Forces being integrated and able to complete one another. The Pe ace Operations have innumerous definitions and peculiarities, making their own pla nning very heterogenic. According to that, the combined planning must consider, in all levels, the high complexity of each Armed Force equipment and, always increase their integration, a iming the goal of logistical interoperability of the Armed Forces. In that matter, this project h as the purpose of presenting subsidies to improve the Activity of Logistical Support in the B razilian Forces that happen to be in Peace Operations, also observing the possibility of anoth er Brazilian participation in a Peace Operation, growing the importance to focus on the e conomical aspect, but never forgetting the effectiveness.
