| Sumario: | The Ejército Nacional de Colombia (ENC) is going through crucial moment in its history. The challenges by the post-agreement phase with the oldest guerrilla in the world Fuerzas Armadas de Colombia (FARC) have forced to accelerate the implementation of the transformation of the Force, through an institutional process establish since 2011, and in part materialized with the implementation of Doctrina Damasco. In this way, the interest of this effort is focused on interpreting from the framework theories of International Relations the institutional transformation that the ENC has assumed. Thus, the question that guides the work is: How interpret the transformation process of the Colombian Army considering the new challenges posed by the domestic context —post-agreement period with FARC— and international? It should be necessary clarified that it is not the subject of this analysis to describe the transformation process of the ENC. Nor describe the Doctrina Damasco. The article rather aims to contribute to the academic debate on the transformation of the ENC from the theoretical analysis offered by the discipline of International Relations. Although, the transformation process of the Colombian Army has its genesis in the need to face the new challenges that arise from the international context and the new internal realities, among which the post-agreement scenario with the FARC, among others, is included. The purpose is to interpret these phenomena and explain how the ENC has renewed its doctrine in a manner consistent with the challenges and threats brought by the contemporary international system.
