The article sets out to analyze the role of the Argentine armed forces in the face of the COVID-19 health emergency, taking as a reference the expansion of the military role in Latin America in the context of the pandemic. The aim is to exhibit that, despite certain experts having warned about the dangers to democracies in other Latin American countries, the prolonged assumption of subsidiary missions by Argentine soldiers has not revealed negative consequences. The investigation combines conceptual tools from political science and the study of civil-military relations, in addition to the use of a qualitative design adjusted to the method known as “deviant case study”. It is concluded that political, normative and professional aspects explain the success of the “General Belgrano Operation”, carried out by the Argentine armed forces to deal with the pandemic. |

El artículo estudia el papel de las Fuerzas Armadas argentinas ante la emergencia sanitaria por COVID-19, tomando como referencia la expansión del rol castrense en América Latina en el contexto de la pandemia. El objetivo es mostrar que, a diferencia de lo que advierten algunos analistas acerca de los peligros para la democracia en otros países de la región, la asunción prolongada de esta misión subsidiaria por parte de los uniformados argentinos no ha revelado consecuencias negativas. La investigación combina herramientas conceptuales de la ciencia política y del estudio de las relaciones civiles-militares, y emplea un diseño teórico-metodológico cualitativo, ajustado al método conocido como “estudio de caso desviado”. Se concluye que en el accionar de las Fuerzas Armadas argentinas ante la pandemia han convergido factores políticos, normativos y operacionales que explican el éxito de la “Operación General Belgrano”. Abstract The article sets out to analyze the role of the Argentine armed forces in the face of the COVID-19 health emergency, taking as a reference the expansion of the military role in Latin America in the context of the pandemic.

O artigo estuda o papel dos militares argentinos diante da emergência sanitária da Covid-19, tomando como referência o contexto latino-americano de expansão do papel militar face à pandemia. Este trabalho aprofunda em dois temas convergentes: a preocupação com a profissionalização militar e o estado das relações civis-militares. O objetivo foi mostrar que, ao contrário dos perigos para a democracia apontados por alguns analistas em outros países latino-americanos, o prolongado desempenho dessa missão subsidiária por parte dos militares argentinos não revelou consequências negativas. Fatores políticos, normativos e operacionais, que têm convergido nas ações do Instrumento Militar diante da pandemia, explicam o sucesso da “Operação General Belgrano”.
