A logística da Marinha do Brasil na operação Taquari II: Análise Doutrinária e Operacional

Abstract

This study analyzes the adequacy of the Brazilian Navy’s logistical support during Operation Taquari II, conducted in Rio Grande do Sul in 2024 in support of Civil Defense, with emphasis on the logistics functions of Supply, Transportation, and Health. This qualitative, applied, and exploratory research is based on documentary and bibliographic investigation. The theoretical framework covers the legal and doctrinal foundations of support to State actions, the subsidiary roles of the Armed Forces, military logistics, and humanitarian logistics. The analysis compares these references with the practical execution during the operation. Results indicate that the Navy mobilized over 4,000 service members, employing naval, air, and marine forces, as well as a field hospital, providing more than 4,000 medical consultations, transporting over 800 tons of donations, 130,000 liters of drinking water, and rescuing approximately 2,600 people. The study observed alignment between practice and existing doctrine, highlighting readiness, mobility, and interagency coordination as decisive factors for success. It is concluded that the operation reaffirms the Navy’s strategic role in supporting State actions in the face of large-scale disasters.
