Military intelligence in Argentina. Reflections since a naval archive

Abstract
The role of the armed forces, and particularly the scope of action of military intelligence, is an axis of debate that periodically reappears in the Argentine political scene, stressing the limits established for military action by current legislation. Particularly in the last decade there has been debate about what is called “militarization” of police forces and “policing” of the armed forces, a phenomenon that would blur the roles traditionally assigned to different institutions. In a context of global redefinition of intelligence activities, this work explores a naval archive that turned out to be the milestone from which military intelligence was institutionally reformulated in Argentina. From this archive, the work deviates the relationship between intelligence practices and the attribution of a “police” role for the Argentine armed forces and retakes the concept of “policing”, which currently alludes to the proposal of intervention of the forces armed in the confrontation of terrorism and drug trafficking, to examine their historical background as a proposal and political practice.
