O presente trabalho de investigação, debruça-se sobre o tema das operações de apoio à paz na Bósnia e Herzegovina, vistas como as primeiras missões, desta tipologia, em que Portugal participa, possuindo pouca experiência e preparação para as mesmas.
Nesta investigação, pretendemos descobrir quais as aprendizagens retiradas das operações realizadas, para o Exército Português. Para tal, aprofundámos o contexto no qual Portugal esteve inserido durante a participação nas missões e explorámos o motivo que o levou às mesmas. Procurámos também analisar os pontos em falha nas operações, e as dificuldades que os militares sentiram antes e durante o período em que estiveram destacados, fora do território nacional.
A investigação, retrata um estudo de caso ligado a uma abordagem qualitativa, para a qual se utilizou a recolha de documentação, entrevistas e observação direta, como fonte de informação. Realizámos quatro entrevistas a militares que estiveram inseridos nas forças portuguesas presentes nas missões de paz na Bósnia e Herzegovina.
Com o cruzamento dos dados obtidos denotou-se que, na vivência no teatro de operações, as forças careceram de formação prévia sobre como atuar em conjunto com os meios de comunicação, e aprenderam que devem guiar-se pelos procedimentos de outros países com mais experiência no terreno.
Verificou-se que, com a experiência da missão, o exército teve a necessidade de atualizar a sua doutrina, relativa às normas de atuação em cenários de paz, e a sua estrutura, através de uma modernização do equipamento e material das forças e da capacidade da componente logística.
Com a realização do projeto, concluímos que a participação dura do exército, nas operações de paz na Bósnia e Herzegovina, teve uma enorme importância para a evolução e atualização das capacidades e competências do mesmo, e tornou visível a importância e necessidade da presença portuguesa nos teatros de operações conjuntos, de modo a obter valorização e reconhecimento por parte da comunidade internacional.
This research paper focuses on the topic of peacekeeping operations in Bosnia and Herzegovina, seen as the first missions of this type in which Portugal has participated, with little experience and preparation for them. In this research, we intend to find out what the Portuguese Army has learned from these operations. In order to do this, we delved into the context in which Portugal was inserted during its participation in the missions and explored the reasons that led it to them. We also tried to analyze the points of failure in the operations, and the difficulties that the soldiers experienced before and during the period in which they were deployed outside national territory. The research is a case study based on a qualitative approach, which used the collection of documentation, interviews and direct observation as sources of information. We conducted four interviews with military personnel who were part of the Portuguese forces in the peacekeeping missions in Bosnia and Herzegovina. By cross-referencing the data obtained, it emerged that, during their experience in the operations theater, the forces lacked prior training on how to act together with the media and learned that they should be guided by the procedures of other countries with more experience in the field. The experience of the mission meant that the army needed to update its doctrine on how to act in peace scenarios, as well as its structure, by modernizing the equipment and material of the forces and the capacity of the logistics component. With the completion of the project, we concluded that the army's hard-fought participation in peace operations in Bosnia and Herzegovina was extremely important for the evolution and updating of the army's capabilities and competencies and made visible the importance and necessity of the Portuguese presence in joint theaters of operations, in order to gain appreciation and recognition from the international community.
