Columbia Military Doctrines and Defense Strategies
The controversial Cold War military doctrine is in the process of being replaced by a new military doctrine for Colombia’s military. The Damasco Doctrine has been developed in line with international humanitarian law and international human rights law in cooperation with the armed forces of the US and Chile since 2011.
The doctrine has maintained its way of perceiving communism as a threat and seeks to adapt the military to current threats and be prepared to confront possible future threats. The new doctrine is incorporated to support highly prepared and trained military organizations, educated with teams that are at the same level as its neighboring countries, with special forces that are properly equipped and have high morale. In addition, military organizations must be versatile to ensure the development of ground operations (offensive, defensive, stability, and support to civil authority) in line with the distinctive capabilities of Colombia’s army.
