| description | From the beginning of the formation of the nation state in Colombia, the men associated with the use of arms made efforts to establish a school to contribute to the professionalization of oficers for the army. Notwithstanding, over the following decades, although different bills were passed and a Military School was founded (1848-1854), the overall balance of creating a body of qualiied oficers was not satisfactory. However, the reading of the Military Manuals, combined with military experience, contributed to a quite competent military training, with professional nuances. Thus, the historiographical thesis that points to the absence of a professional armed force in the irst half of the 19th century, because of the lack of a technical school, becomes relative, given that it disregards that military training –as it came to pass in other regions- was carried out through informal educational pathways which are more dificult to trace. |

Desde el inicio de formación del Estado-Nación en Colombia, los hombres vinculados al ejercicio de las armas hicieron esfuerzos por constituir una Escuela que coadyuvara a la profesionalización de oficiales para el ejército. No obstante, a lo largo de las siguientes décadas si bien se emitieron diversos proyectos de ley y se llegó a fundar un Colegio Militar (1848-54), el balance en general de crear un cuerpo de oficiales calificados, no fue satisfactorio. Pero, la lectura de Manuales Castrenses, la experiencia marcial, contribuyeron a la formación militar con cierta competencia, con matices profesionales. De esta manera, se relativiza la tesis historiografía que señala la ausencia de una fuerza armada profesional en la primera mitad del siglo XIX, por la carencia de una escuela técnica, pues desconoce que la formación militar -como aconteció en otras latitudes-, se hizo por vías educativas no formales un poco más complejos de rastrear. Dès origines de l’Etat-nation en Colombie, les hommes liés à l’exercice militaire ont fait des efforts pour construire une institution permettant la profesionalisation des oficiers. Malgré de différents projets de loi et l’éphémère création d’une Ecole Militaire (1848-1854), le bilan des premières décennies de vie républicaine quant à la création d’un corps d’oficiers qualiiés fut très insatisfaisant. Cependant, la lecture des Manuels militaires et l’expérience guerrière ont contribué à la formation d’une certaine compétence, avec des nuances professionnelles. Ainsi, nous invitons à relativiser la thèse historiographique selon laquelle dans la première moitié du XIXe siècle il n’y aurait pas eu de forces armées profesionnelles en raison de l’absence d’une école technique, puisque cela revient à oublier que la formation militaire –tel qu’il se produit ailleurs-, s’est faite à travers des voies éducatives non formelles plus dificiles de retracer.
