In 2025, the Brazilian Army could make history by promoting its first female general, in a decision awaited by the High Command. In addition, after two decades, the famous slogan “Strong Arm, Friendly Hand” will be replaced, marking a new phase. The hope for inclusion and modernization defines the year.
Will 2025 be remembered as the year that Brazilian army finally took a historic step towards gender equality in its ranks?
After more than two centuries of existence, the corporation may be on the verge of an unprecedented and revolutionary milestone.
As the traditionally male-dominated military weighs a decision that could change its future, behind the scenes it buzzes with a mix of hope, strategy and mystery.

At the heart of this transformation is the possibility of promoting the first woman to general.
The decision, however, is not automatic and depends on the Army High Command, which will carefully analyze all criteria before making history.
What's at stake in 2025
According to information from journalist Lauro Jardim, published in The Globe, the Brazilian Army may achieve an unprecedented feat this year: the promotion of the first woman to the rank of general.
The decision is in the hands of the High Command, a group of officers who will determine whether the requirements have been met by the candidate.
Furthermore, another relevant aspect moves the institution's corridors: After more than two decades using the famous slogan “Strong Arm, Friendly Hand”, the Army is developing a new visual and communication identity.
According to Jardim, this change is being handled with the utmost secrecy.
A milestone for women in the Armed Forces
The promotion of a woman to the rank of general is not only an unprecedented event, but also a reflection of the constant struggle for greater representation and gender equality in all areas of society.
Although women have conquered significant spaces in various spheres, the military still carries the weight of its traditionally male history.
It is worth remembering that the female presence in the Brazilian Army has gained more relevance in recent decades, but the highest positions still represent a challenge.
The possibility of having a female general symbolizes a profound change, not only in leadership, but also in the way the Army positions itself before society.
The new slogan and the search for modernization
Another point that arouses curiosity is the creation of a new slogan for the Army.
After more than 20 years using the phrase “Strong Arm, Helping Hand”, the institution seems to be looking for an identity that reflects contemporary demands.
While details are being kept under wraps, it is speculated that the new phrase emphasizes values such as inclusivity, technology and sustainability.
As journalist Lauro Jardim highlights, the change in the slogan is not just a marketing issue, but also an attempt to bring the Army closer to a more modern image, aligned with the challenges of the 21st century.
This update may also influence the way the institution is perceived by public opinion, especially at a time when the military occupies prominent positions in the national debate.
The symbolism behind the first general
The promotion of a woman to general is not only an institutional advance. It also carries powerful symbolism for Brazilian society.
In times of growing discussions about diversity and inclusion, This decision could mark a new era for the Army, reinforcing the importance of breaking historical barriers and making room for female talent.
At the same time, the decision raises questions about the future of the institution and the impacts of more plural leadership.
Will we see more profound changes in the structures of the Brazilian Armed Forces?
What to Expect in 2025?
The year begins with many expectations for the Brazilian Army. If the High Command confirms the promotion of the first female general, it will be an achievement that will go down in the history books.
Furthermore, the launch of the new slogan promises to bring a new phase to the institution, which seeks to align itself with current demands and challenges.
And you, what do you think about this possible revolution in the Brazilian Army? Leave your opinion in the comments!
The Armed Forces are desperately trying to win back the Brazilian Citizen. However, they are losing their own colleagues on active duty and especially in the RESERVE. Unfortunately, “dirty politics” has been destroying the institution for decades. Those who have never been in the field only talk about the “privileges”. But no positive comments are made about the duties inherent to the position. For those who do, spend a few days on missions in the Amazon Rainforest, in the upper Xingu, on the high seas… where families anxiously await their return. I cannot fail to mention the upper caste, who have indeed achieved many “perks”. The weakness of human beings lies in their pockets $$$$$$$. Obviously, every class and/or race bows to the power of $$$. LOOK AT THE RESERVE GRADUATES. The FAB, as always, has been left behind. Have a blessed week. Jungle!! Black Beret. Jungle Fighter. “Beyond the Equator, a majestic timeless monument…”
Just change the slogan to: Strong Arm and Helping Hand.
We are heading towards the total destruction of the Brazilian Army.
The army is to protect the nation!
The Army was not made to do what a minority wants.
The Army is not politicians who make propaganda to deceive Brazilians.
Let's stop this nonsense!
The Army has to do its job and that's it!
Every subject ****!
This country is in a state of decline that seems to have no end!
Mercy My GOD!
Compassion!
My thought is, let's carry out the coup, but human beings are not immortal and in the future, if it was done once it could be done again and if the opposing side took over with a coup and perpetuated itself, what would happen? In 2 years this one leaves and another one enters...
again
