Abstract
- RESUMEN. Este artículo investiga la doctrina militar del Ejército colombiano y su relación con las prácticas frente al conflicto armado interno en los años 1995-1998. Primero, mediante un análisis cualitativo, se aborda el desarrollo de la doctrina militar colombiana en ese periodo y la influencia norteamericana y de otros países en ella, así como su mezcla ecléctica con la doctrina nacional frente al conflicto irregular. Luego, mediante encuestas, entrevistas y un grupo focal, se analizaron las prácticas y su relación con la doctrina en una muestra de 180 oficiales del Ejército de la época, tomando como base cuatro reveses operacionales sufridos entonces. Como resultado se encontró que, aunque los oficiales reconocían y valoraban la doctrina, se enfrentaban a situaciones complejas que los llevaban a tomar iniciativas propias con resultados muy variables. ABSTRACT. This article addresses the Colombian Army's military doctrine and its relationship with practices during the internal armed conflict from 1995-1998. First, the development of the Colombian military doctrine in that period and the United States and other countries' influence on it, as well as its eclectic combining with the national doctrine in the face of the irregular conflict, was addressed through qualitative analysis. Then, the practices and their relationship with the doctrine were analyzed in a sample of 180 then active Army officers participating in surveys, interviews and a focus group, based on four operational setbacks suffered at the time. It was found that, although the officers recognized and valued the doctrine, they faced complex situations that led them to take initiatives with varying results.
