Abstract(s)
O presente trabalho tem como o objetivo geral analisar as valências logísticas militares necessários a serem empregues em contextos de emergência provocados pelas catástrofes naturais. Os resultados da investigação contribuem com importantes reflexões para identificar as componentes logísticas ao longo das várias fases (aprontamento, sustentação, sustentação e retração) de missões de cariz humanitário para apoiar populações assoladas por eventos climáticos extremos.
Para o efeito, o estudo apoia-se num raciocínio indutivo, seguindo uma estratégia metodológica qualitativa de um estudo de caso: a intervenção humanitária aquando da passagem de Ciclone Idai, em 2019, na cidade da Beira, Moçambique. Neste âmbito, são analisados documentos institucionais e realizadas entrevistas semiestruturas aos militares que planearam e conduziram a missão no sentido de identificar lições aprendidas.
Os resultados deste estudo evidenciam que as valências logísticas necessárias podem variar tendo em conta os cenários em questão requerem uma abordagem multidimensional, sobretudo devido ao facto de ausência de respostas capazes em regiões onde estes eventos serão mais frequentes. Neste sentido, o apoia da força também nas capacidades locais desempenham um papel significativo na probabilidade do sucesso da missão. Evidencia-se que, quanto mais desfavorecido for o país, maior será o volume e as capacidades logísticas necessários (o planeamento eficiente, movimento e transporte, modulo robusto da comunicação, gestão e distribuição de abastecimentos, segurança da própria força e parcerias civil-militar) para garantir o sucesso do apoio. Antecipa-se, igualmente, que este tipo de missão serão mais frequentes no futuro, principalmente em regiões desfavorecidas, agravante de possuírem fracas capacidades em termos de mecanismos de proteção e combate as catástrofes. Atendendo igualmente à experiência detida pelas FFAA Portuguesas, afiguram-se mais missões no contexto dos países membros da CPLP.
The present work has as general objective to analyze the military logistic valences necessary to be used in emergency contexts caused by natural catastrophes. The research results contribute with important reflections to identify the logistical components throughout the various phases (ready, sustain, sustain and withdraw) of humanitarian missions to support populations devastated by extreme weather events. For this purpose, the study is based on inductive reasoning, following a qualitative methodological strategy of a case study: the humanitarian intervention during the passage of Cyclone Idai, in 2019, in the city of Beira, Mozambique. In this context, institutional documents are analyzed and semi-structured interviews are conducted with the soldiers who planned and conducted the mission in order to identify lessons learned. The results of this study show that the necessary logistical valences may vary, taking into account the scenarios in question, requiring a multidimensional approach, mainly due to the lack of capable responses in regions where these events will be more frequent. In this sense, force support also on local capabilities plays a significant role in the likelihood of mission success. It is evident that the more disadvantaged the country, the greater the volume and the necessary logistical capacities (efficient planning, movement and transport, robust communication module, management and distribution of supplies, security of the force itself and civil-military partnerships ) to ensure successful support. It is also anticipated that this type of mission will be more frequent in the future, mainly in disadvantaged regions, aggravating the fact that they have weak capabilities in terms of protection mechanisms and combating disasters. Also taking into account the experience held by the Portuguese FFAA, more missions appear in the context of CPLP member countries.
