Over 7.800 hits: Why is the Brazilian Army Library the US's favorite?
US leads access to Brazilian Army's digital collection

With more than 5.700 accesses to military commands and 2.000 to Defense publications, the Brazilian Army attracts strategic attention from the US, mainly from Ashburn, a technology center in Virginia.

In recent years, the Brazilian Army’s digital archive has attracted the attention of an international audience, especially in the United States. The statistics are clear: Americans lead the way in the number of views, with more than 7.800 hits, mainly from the city of Ashburn, Virginia. But what makes this archive so interesting to the United States?

The Digital Library of the Army Doctrine Center (BDEx), inaugurated seven years ago, has become a rich source of information on logistics, the doctrine and strategies Brazilian military. This curiosity reveals more than just numbers; it reflects Brazil's relevance in the global defense and security scenario.

Why is the United States interested in the Brazilian Army's collection?

The Digital Library of the Army Doctrine Center (BDEx) is based in Brazil and organizes information on doctrines, logistics and military defense. It serves as a public platform for access to monographs, manuals and institutional publications of the Brazilian Army.

Ashburn, Virginia, is known as an important technology and security center in the US, housing large companies and data servers. Coincidentally, this is where most of the accesses to the Brazilian Army's collection originate. There were more than 5.700 visits to the pages related to Brazilian military commands.

This American leadership in access surpasses other countries and raises questions. Is this strategic research? Is it an academic interest? Whatever the reason, the data reinforces the role of the Brazilian Army as a source of relevant knowledge.

What is available in the Brazilian Army collection?

BDEx is organized into four main communities: institutional, scientific, defense, and support for major events. Documents range from monographs to regulations, guidelines, and manuals. Information on territorial defense and military logistics are the main attractions.

Among the eight military commands of Brazil, those that sparked the most interest American were the Eastern Military Command, which covers states such as Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais, and the Amazon Command. The latter, despite not having available files, registered 750 visits, showing interest in its strategic relevance.

Why does the collection attract the US so much?

The Brazilian Army has a strategic position in South America, as well as vast experience in jungle combat and operations in the Amazon. These factors make Brazilian military doctrines a reference on the global stage. Logistics and cyber defense are also topics that attract the attention of governments and companies.

It is no coincidence that the accesses originate from Ashburn, a technology hub in the US. There are servers from technology giants, as well as government agencies and security companies. This may indicate that the search for information is part of defense studies or commercial strategies.

What the data reveals

Brazil's presence in peacekeeping missions, its operations in the Amazon, and its expertise in jungle combat position the Brazilian Army as an internationally recognized force. Cyber ​​defense doctrines, present in the digital archive, are increasingly relevant in a connected world.

The American interest reinforces the need for Brazil to maintain transparency, but also to protect strategic information. After all, in times of technological and geopolitical disputes, knowledge is power.

The Brazilian Army collection is not just a repository of documents; it is a reflection of the relevance of the country on the global stage. The US interest, demonstrated by the thousands of hits, highlights the strategic importance of the information available there.

Deafening silence here in the comments... if these consultations had come from a country like China, a multitude of defenders of the bastion of Western democracy (the USA) would appear here, criticizing and shouting all kinds of offenses. But since this is the world's police, everything is fine, after all they always have the best intentions... Hell is full of good intentions...
