This article investigates the impact of the creation and implementation of an unprecedented project in Brazil, led by Army Captain George Eduardo de Sousa Lopes, who revolutionized the Armed Forces training model and positioned the country as a regional and international reference in preparation for combat through simulation systems. Initially, there is the existing limitation in the training of various military activities, due to the high financial cost, and how this barrier could be overcome by the development of an innovative and integrated system. The advantages of the use of simulation techniques are highlighted, both for the exponential increase in the security and training of troops, and the expressive economy generated for the Armed Forces and the Brazilian State. The study relates the systems that make up advanced simulation training, called “Simulation Division”, and has a research conducted with members of the Armed Forces, assessing the transforming impact of the application of these simulators and the new military doctrine on training. The results indicate that simulators were identified as essential tools for the safe and effective improvement of troops, as well as generating millionaire economies, allowing Brazil to relocate resources to other strategic areas and, consequently, strengthen their national defense system.
