| description | This article analyses the role of the United States in the Conference of American Armies (CAA) in the period 2008-2015. It explains how the U.S. used military diplomacy to install a vision of hemispheric security focused on the “new threats” (drug trafficking, terrorism, and organised crime) within the conference. To this end, statistical indicators were drawn up based on documentary analysis of the Commanders’ Agreements and the minutes of the CAA plenary sessions. Among the military diplomacy mechanisms used by the U.S. are the continuous invitations to CAA member countries to participate in training exercises (PANAMAX, FA-HUM and PKO-A) in which the thematic guides developed by the CAA were put into practice. The CAA is a body that operates with a certain degree of autonomy from defence diplomacy, which creates difficulties in the political management of the armed forces in the region. |

El artículo analiza el rol de Estados Unidos en la Conferencia de Ejércitos Americanos (CEA) en el período 2008-2015. Se explica cómo este país utilizó la diplomacia militar para instalar una visión de la seguridad hemisférica centrada en las “nuevas amenazas” (narcotráfico, terrorismo y crimen organizado) en el seno de la conferencia. Para ello, se elaboraron indicadores estadísticos a partir del análisis documental de los Acuerdos de Comandantes y las actas de sesiones plenarias de la CEA. Entre los mecanismos de diplomacia militar utilizados por EE. UU. se encuentran las continuas invitaciones a los países miembros de la CEA para que participen en ejercicios de entrenamiento (Panamax, FA-HUM y PKO-A) en las que se pusieron en práctica las guías temáticas desarrolladas por dicho organismo. La CEA es una instancia que funciona con cierta autonomía respecto de la diplomacia de defensa, lo que supone dificultades en la conducción política de las fuerzas armadas en la región.
