The tactic of military health in the process of modernising, bureaucratising and professionalising the Argentine Army at the beginning of the 20th century

Abstract

Entre at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, the army began a process of modernisation, bureaucratisation and professionalisation. The sanction imposed by Organic Law No 2377 of the Army and Navy Health Corps in 1888 was an important milestone in this process. The article analyses the conceptions of the tactics of military health produced by military health officers in the first three decades of the 20th century, noting, on the one hand, their perspectives on the experiences of Argentinian military health in the ‘civil wars’ and the ‘Paraguay Campaign’; and, on the other hand, his understanding of the experiences of armies from other countries in wars since the mid-19th century. By way of hypothesis, I maintain that, during that period, the driving and officers of that army body defined a body of knowledge and practices specific to the tactics of the health service, with reference to the doctrines and experiences of contemporary wars – mainly of the armies involved in the First World War – and strategic and tactical conceptions of the army in Argentina of the time.
