National Army sources told EL TIEMPO that the Damascus Doctrine is “established, and based on it, training continues. It is not true that it will stop“.
Similarly, they pointed out that at this time 30 instruction manuals are being worked on. “It is not a political issue, it is the tactical, operational and strategic guidelines of military action“stated a high-ranking official.
The controversy was unleashed with the publication in this newspaper of the letter in which Colonel Pedro Javier Rojas, who was the director of the Army Doctrine Center, requested the discharge.
In it, he assures that he lost “absolutely trust in the institutional High Command, headed by General Eduardo Zapateiro, Commander of the Army, which prevents me from continuing under his orders ”.

Colonel Rojas pointed out that the Damascus doctrine was prohibited because it was related, among others, to the agreements reached between the government of Juan Manuel Santos and the former FARC guerrilla.
For his part, an official consulted indicated that the Damascus Doctrine also refers to the issue of “ethics and respect for human rights “, and reiterated that there is no content or political positions.
The Doctrine is based on four manuals: Army Fundamentals, Army Reference, Army Campaigns, and Army Techniques.
And of these, the most important is Army 1.0, which talks about military philosophy and its principles.

Where does the name Damascus come from?
In the first primer it is explained that the name of Damascus comes from something purely religious, since it is inspired by the conversion, in the city of Damascus, of Saul of Tarsus, a Roman citizen and persecutor of Christians, in the Apostle Paul, a doctrinaire and defender of the faith, who wrote much of the New Testament, 30 years after Christ’s death, believing that he had encountered the risen Jesus.
On what is this doctrine based?
The Army is aligned with the universal definition of military doctrine,
which is conceived as the set of “Fundamental principles through
which the Military Forces guide their actions in support of national objectives”, And is established as the means of standardizing tactics, techniques, procedures, terms and symbols.
objective
The main objective of the Damascus doctrine is that any citizen can access it and know how the National Army operates, with absolute transparency.
That is, the cornerstone of doctrinal publications can be accessed
of the Army, in order to have a vision of how the Army conducts sustained ground operations and establishes the foundations for the development of other fundamental principles, tactics, techniques and procedures detailed in other subordinate doctrinal publications.
