The gender issue is a relevant aspect of the contemporary society; and, is now considered a complex, multifaceted process in the formation of individual and collective identities. In this sense, it is predicative to associate the gender category to the Brazilian military institutions, which have traditionally been malepredominant spaces, and, in which, recently, affirmative actions have imposed the feminine presence in some technical positions, which has made women insertion in ordnance section necessary only after Bill no.12705, of August 8th of 2012, as combatants, under the conditions and access levels to be determined by the Armed Forces. In this perspective, this paper aims to investigate a poorly explored aspect in the military research field: the contribution of the military women in the process of weakening the barriers between the military corporations and the Brazilian civil society. For this matter, this study has employed a survey about the feminine presence in the Army, describing the occupational aspects of the male officials and the military women s lives, as well as the multiple facets of their gender habitus, which include their attitude towards certain topics, such as:politics, private life, and women insertion in the ordnance section; besides that, it was used the technique of focal groups with official instructors from the branch (army organization) courses of the Agulhas Negras Military Academy (AMAN), stressing different characteristics of their gender habitus, thus deepening the topics discussed in the survey.
