Some names are being considered for the command of the Army, Air Force and Navy starting next year. The team of the president-elect, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT), prioritizes senior senior officers, therefore more experienced, on their list.

Everything indicates that Lula's government will have numerous changes in the Executive. Apparently, the president-elect's team got good impressions on the current 4-star generals. Former ministers Nelson Jobim and Celso Amorim are two names considered in this list that is being drawn up.
Those soldiers who are today at the peak of their military careers are not as well known by the PT government, because during the mandate of Dilma Rousseff, president elected in 2010, re-elected in 2014 and impeached in 2016, they had low levels of hierarchy.
In view of this fact, the PT team does not have extensive knowledge about the officers who are able to occupy the command from January 1, 2023. With that in mind, the PT government takes into account the legalist High Command and also evaluates those who resisted the new government and left the Army for politics.
When someone is nominated, the older ones end up on the reservation. With that, Lula's government will possibly opt for names with more experience.
As promised in the campaign, Lula will reduce the number of military personnel who hold positions in the executive branch. Thus, around 8,000 members of the Armed Forces who hold paid positions in the federal government may be dismissed.
Lula did not provide further details on how this will be done, but according to him, the dismissal is for construction and not 'bravado'.
This proposal is completely opposite to that of the current non-reelected president, Jair Messias Bolsonaro (PL). This, in turn, has always shown intense support for military power in his four-year term.
With this significant number of layoffs, the choice of new commanders must be strategically thought out by the president-elect. Furthermore, the PT government is interested in developing the first nuclear submarine in Brazil, and for that, the contribution of the military will be indispensable. In addition to this, the government has other interests that will rely on the military to be developed.
