The work gathers the testimonies of the guerrillas, including their motivations for joining the insurgency, experiences in the guerrilla, and feelings regarding the end of the armed conflict and their pending reintegration into Guatemalan society. I compare what the URNG combatants expressed in these interviews with other research regarding the 36-year conflict and especially studies documenting the experience of demobilized URNG members a decade after their reintegration into Guatemalan civil society. -

Strategi Pengembangan Produk Terintegrasi Dan Modular (Ppt-M) Pada Litbang Desain Rantis Komodo Di Pt Pindad
STRATEGI PENGEMBANGAN PRODUK TERINTEGRASI DAN MODULAR (PPT-M) PADA LITBANG DESAIN RANTIS KOMODO DI PT PINDAD INTEGRATED PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY AND MODULAR (PPT-M) OF KOMODO TACTICAL VEHICLE DESIGN RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AT PT PINDAD Tubagus Ahmad D.P., Yannes Martinus Pasaribu, Andar Bagus Sriwarno Program Magister Desain Institut Teknologi Bandung [email protected] ABSTRAK Kendaraan taktis (rantis) merupakan salah satu kebutuhan kendaraan militer TNI AD pada doktrin infanteri mekanis untuk mengatasi ancaman militer di darat. Agar menghindari ancaman embargo senjata, pemerintah membuat kebijakan kemandirian alutsista dan industri pertahanan dengan memasok kendaraan rantis Komodo dari hasil litbang PT Pindad yang merupakan industri pertahanan dalam negeri. Namun, litbang rantis PT Pindad selalu menghadapi berbagai masalah seperti terbatasnya anggaran, waktu, SDM, dan kapasitas produksi. Strategi desain Pengembangan Produk Terintegrasi dan Modular (PPT-M) pada litbang desain rantis Komodo merupakan strategi pengoptimalan litbang rantis PT Pindad dalam menghasilkan rantis yang sesuai dengan kebijakan pemerintah, kebutuhan TNI AD, dan sesuai dengan kapasitas PT Pindad. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif eksploratori dengan metode studi literatur dan wawancara. Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat menjadi pengetahuan tentang penerapan strategi desain dan menjadi rekomendasi untuk litbang rantis PT Pindad di masa depan serta melengkapi penelitian bertema strategi desain dan industri pertahanan. Kata Kunci: kemandirian, litbang, rantis komodo, strategi desain, TNI AD ABSTRACT Tactical vehicle is one of the Indonesian army or TNI AD basic needs which has become a mechanical infantry doctrine in facing military threats on land. In order to evade an arms embargo, the government has composed a policy for the autonomy of weaponry system and defense industry by supplying the tactical vehicles from PT Pindad as a national defense industry. -
CONTRIBUTIONS to the BRAZILIAN DEFENSE INDUSTRIAL BASE 1 Ana Carolina Aguilera Negrete2 Eduardo Rodrigues De Sousa3
DOI 1022491/1809-3191.v24n2.p435-462 DEMANDS OF THE MARINE OPERATING GROUPS DURING THE MINUSTAH: CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE BRAZILIAN DEFENSE INDUSTRIAL BASE 1 Ana Carolina Aguilera Negrete2 Eduardo Rodrigues de Sousa3 ABSTRACT Based on the study of the importance of Marine Material Command (CMatFN) in improving the materials used by Marine Operative Groups (GptOpFuzNav) in the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti MINUSTAH, this article presents the contributions of Peace Operations under the aegis of the United Nations (UN) for the development of the productive and technological capacity of the Brazilian Defense Industrial Base (DIB), through the role of military demand in the process of the acquisition of means and operative equipment specifically used in these Operations. The theoretical reference used in this research was the Innovation Systems (SI) approach and its application focused on military production. Through bibliographic research and collection of secondary and primary data, some lessons from MINUSTAH from an economic point of view can be observed, such as the existence of a potential purchasing market in the UN system, still little explored by Brazilian companies and a strong relationship of dependence between these companies and the military client for the development of innovations, which hinders a greater performance in the purchasing system. Keywords: Peace operations. Defense industrial base. Military demand. 1 The authors thank the theoretical contributions and suggestions of the Captain of Sea and War (FN) Marcelo Ribeiro de Figueiredo, of the Captain of Sea and War (FN) José Guilherme Viegas, of the Frigate Captain (IM) André Reis Ferreira, of the Frigate Captain (FN) Gilmar Diogo Guedes and of the Corvette Captain (FN) Fernando Bellard Abdo. -

ARMY FOR PROGRESS : THE U.S. MILITARIZATION OF THE GUATEMALAN POLITICAL AND SOCIAL CRISIS 1961-1969 BY MICHAELE.DONOGHUE A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN HISTORY UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND - ABSTRACT The purpose of this thesis is to explore the military and political implications of the United States' foreign policy towards Guatemala in the years 1961 to 1969. Guatemala was a key battleground of the Cold War in Latin America in the crucial decade of the 1960s. While greater scholarly attention has focused on the 1954 U.S. backed CIA planned cou~ in Guatemala, the events of the 1960s proved an equally significant watershed in U.S.-Latin American relations. Tue outbreak of a nationalist insurgency in Guatemala early in the decade provided the Kennedy Administration with a vital testing ground for its new counter-insurgency and civic action politico-military doctrine.
