The paper analyses the logic of repressive policy applied to the militaries after 1964’ coup. The objective is to demonstrate that the roots of this process have a direct relation with the contests of policy-ideological process for control by the Brazilian State, which occurred in the post-Second World War, and that the justifications for its use were formulated during the political debates that took place in the late 1940s. In particular, the objective is to prove that, in the courses of the Superior School of War (ESG), based on its basic principles and doctrines of national security and revolutionary war, we find the ideological, political and economic grounds for the “sanitation” carried out within the Armed Forces.

The paper analyses the logic of the repressive policy applied to the corporals of the Brazilian Air Force cables after 1964’ coup. It is understood that the mobilizations of the military privates were seen by the group that arrived to the power as a threat to the continuity of the relations of domination. From this assumption, derive the objective of demonstrate as alterations of political essence in internal norms that reformulated the processes of engagements, reengagements and promotions of the corporals of the Brazilian Air Force were intended to eliminate from political and military life those suspected of subversion and those against whom there was not necessarily a formal accusation, but were seen as potential enemies. As a consequence, it was sought to avoid the resurgence of political movements or just claims of military privates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
