Abstract

This paper intends to identify changes in the Argentine defense structure after the Malvinas War, concentrating the analysis on the Argentine military instrument. Based on the theoretical approach used, the structure of fractals, the study focuses on three main layers, defense institutions, the structure of the Armed Forces and forces in theater of operations, as well as the elements of each layer and its variables: elements of the range of military operations (doctrine, culture, evaluation), elements of capacity (force structure, resources, readiness) and elements of the mission (training, operational planning). These variables indicate that the Argentine defense structure showed flaws in the return circuit between the layers and also in their interaction. The results of this study show that in the analyzed period, the Argentine military instrument presented transformations, but the Malvinas War reveals a relatively low impact on the changes that occurred in Argentina in the analyzed period.
