FGV and the Brazilian Navy conclude Maritime Policy and Strategy course
Recognized as the Navy's highest-level course, the C-PEM is aimed at merit-selected Sea and War Captains and is essential for promotion to the rank of Rear Admiral.
At the end of 2024, the Naval War College (EGN) celebrated the presentation of badges and awards to the officers-students of the 2024 class of the Maritime Policy and Strategy Course (C-PEM), in a ceremony that marked the consolidation of an unprecedented partnership between the Brazilian Navy and FGV In Company.
Recognized as the Navy's highest level course, the C-PEM is aimed at Sea and War Captains selected on merit and is essential for promotion to the rank of Rear Admiral. This year, the training was enriched by the inclusion of the Strategic Management Extension Course, conducted by FGV, reaffirming the commitment of both institutions to excellence and innovation in the preparation of the country's military leaders.
With a workload of 114 hours, the course covered essential topics such as macroeconomics, geopolitics, defense economics, data science and team management. “FGV complemented the high-level training of the student officers, aligning itself with the strategic objectives of the C-PEM and strengthening analytical training in key areas for the Navy and the National Defense Policy,” said Professor Guilherme R. Garcia Marques, the course coordinator and a member of the teaching staff.
This unprecedented initiative reflects FGV's strategic role as a Strategic Defense Company, consolidating its role in training leaders for the Armed Forces. With more than 6,300 officers already trained, including 200 who have reached the Generalate, FGV reaffirms its commitment to teaching and applied research focused on national security.
Sea and War Captain Alexandre Motta de Sousa, who is in charge of the Maritime Policy and Strategy Course (C-PEM) at the Naval War College, emphasized the importance of the partnership, which has added value to the C-PEM, transmitting very important knowledge to future Navy Admirals. “We hope that this partnership will continue for many years to come,” he said.
The ceremony was attended by Professor Guilherme R. Garcia Marques and Jussara R. Almeida, FGV In Company's account executive, who accompanied the presentation of the badges and awards. The event symbolized more than the end of a course: it represented the strengthening of an innovative partnership that unites tradition, modernity and excellence.
