Institutional

The Brazilian Defense College (ESD) was created on October 1, 2021, through Presidential Decree No. 10,806, of September 23, 2021. The institution, linked to the Ministry of Defense (MD), carries out studies, research, extension, dissemination, teaching and exchange, on topics of interest to National Defense, with a priority focus on civil servants of the Executive, Legislative and Judiciary Powers and institutions of interest to Defense, as well as military personnel from the Armed and Auxiliary Forces.

ESD, located in the Federal District, has the important role of bringing the bodies that make up the country's administrative political center closer to defense matters, contributing to the strengthening of this mentality in the Brazilian society, which is fundamental to our sovereignty.
