Popis: With the guerrilla's strategic weakening and the establishment of the peace dialogues between the FARC and the national government, it started a situation of post-armed conflict, which has been accompanied with the transformation of the Colombian armed forces. In this way, the present paper aims to analyze this initiated in 2011, with the objective of identifying the new role that has been delegated to the military in the context of post-conflict that started with the signing of the Havana Peace Accords in 2016. The hypothesis of the paper is that the process, in one hand, has been consolidating the Colombian armed forces as an institution turned to the accomplishment of subsidiary tasks and, in the other, it has contributed to a renewal of the military dependency with the USA, although with different bases in relation to those observed during the Plan Colombia time. The methodolo gy employed in this research consisted of data analysis collected in international databases, analysis of documents from the Colombian government and literature review about military transformation. Despite this process involving the three armed forces (Army, Navy and Air Force), the first one has been more affected, which for this reason it will be more analyzed.
