Abstract(s)
A Artilharia de Campanha tem desempenhado um papel crucial nas operações militares ao longo da história, sendo um elemento determinante para a superioridade no campo de batalha. Todavia, a eficácia da Artilharia de Campanha depende, em grande parte, da qualidade da Instrução de Tiro de Artilharia de Campanha ministrada aos militares. Através do presente trabalho pretendeu-se comparar a Instrução de Tiro de Artilharia de Campanha realizada noutros países da OTAN com a Instrução de Tiro de Artilharia de Campanha ministrada em Portugal de forma obter a otimização entre recursos empregues e os resultados obtidos, bem como uma melhoria no sistema de instrução. Para a realização desta investigação adotou-se um raciocínio indutivo e foi utilizada uma metodologia mista, baseada em dois inquéritos por questionário realizados a todos os Oficiais e Sargentos de Artilharia de Portugal e a militares de diversos países da OTAN e, simultaneamente, num inquérito por entrevista aos atuais e antigos comandantes de Baterias bocas de fogo. Concluise que a Instrução de Tiro de Artilharia de Campanha portuguesa enfrenta várias limitações que afetam a sua eficácia na preparação dos militares para os desafios contemporâneos e que, para melhorar, é necessário implementar um sistema de certificação formal; aumentar a frequência do treino e dos exercícios de fogos reais; melhorar as infraestruturas de tiro; adquirir mais simuladores e aumentar a quantidade e tipologia de munições disponíveis para o treino. Em contraste, a Instrução de Tiro de Artilharia de Campanha dos países da OTAN possui um sistema de certificação abrangente; exercícios de fogos reais; materiais mais modernos e adequados; bem como uma variedade de simuladores e munições disponíveis para o treino, permitindo uma preparação efetiva dos militares.
Field Artillery has played a crucial role in military operations throughout history, being a determining element in battlefield superiority. However, the effectiveness of Field Artillery depends largely on the quality of the Field Artillery Firing Instruction given to soldiers. This study aimed to compare the Field Artillery Firing Instruction given in other NATO countries with the Field Artillery Firing Instruction given in Portugal, to optimize the resources used and the results obtained, as well as to improve the instruction system. This research was carried out using inductive reasoning and a mixed methodology, based on two questionnaire surveys of all Artillery Officers and Sergeants in Portugal and military personnel from various NATO countries and, at the same time, an interview survey of current and former commanders of firing batteries. This research concludes that Portuguese Field Artillery Firing Instruction faces several limitations that affect its effectiveness in preparing soldiers for contemporary challenges and that, to improve, it is necessary to implement a formal certification system; increase the frequency of training and live-fire exercises; improve shooting infrastructures; acquire more simulators and increase the quantity and type of ammunition available for training. In contrast, NATO countries' Field Artillery Firing Instruction has a comprehensive certification system; large-scale exercises; more modern and appropriate materials; as well as a variety of simulators and ammunition available for training, ensuring effective preparation of the military.
