“…En consecuencia, el Estado colombiano debe tener una estrategia multidimensional, mas no irrestricta, para hacer frente al ELN. En este sentido, autores como Miron (2019) y Thompson (1966 han establecido lineamientos estratégicos para la lucha contrainsurgente que siguen siendo útiles a pesar de la lógica de la guerra irrestricta. Entre ellos se encuentra la claridad que debe tener el Estado en cuanto a sus fines políticos, su independencia y su prosperidad económica; la importancia de que el Gobierno funcione acorde a la ley y proteja su legitimidad; la necesidad de un plan de gobierno que vaya más allá de las operaciones militares, incluyendo los campos políticos, sociales, administrativos y económicos que afectan el diario vivir de los ciudadanos; el enfoque que el Gobierno debe dar a la subversión, sea violenta o no, y la necesidad de asegurar las bases y los centros de gravedad del Estado ante olas de violencia.…”

La guerra irrestricta, definida como una guerra que supera los límites, ha sido bien estudiada desde su origen conceptual en 1999. En Occidente, se ha utilizado principalmente para analizar estrategias de balance de poder, ignorando su potencial para estudiar conflictos intraestatales. Este artículo analiza cómo emplea la guerra irrestricta el grupo armado organizado Ejército de Liberación Nacional (ELN) en Colombia. Para ello, primero se desarrolla el concepto de guerra irrestricta; luego se analiza el ELN desde su identidad, su ideología y su interacción con el entorno, y finalmente se abordan ocho variables de la guerra irrestricta evaluando si el ELN las aplica. Se concluye que este grupo ha cambiado su estrategia hacia la omnidireccionalidad y se plantean recomendaciones para el Estado colombiano en su lucha contra esta amenaza.

“…Such is the case of "The Surge strategy", carried out by General David Petraeus in Iraq. In 2006, prior to the arrival of General Petraeus, the situation in Iraq escalated into civil war (Miron, 2019a). More than 50 attacks and three car bombs were reported per day only in Baghdad (Petraeus, 2013), which showed that the strategies used were not working.…”

The development of a national defense and security strategy must seek a holistic and comprehensive view of various aspects. Likewise, it is necessary to know what has been developed historically to mitigate the destabilization factor and determine milestones that can be considered successes or failures. In this way, a planning model for the National Defense and Security Strategy is proposed, using drug trafficking as a destabilizing factor, which requires the attention of the Colombian State from all its fields of action, in an articulated way. Therefore, and through multidimensional security, it is expected to expand the strategic landscape to allow the realization of plans and programs as inputs for the development of a National Security Plan that mitigates such destabilization and not only its legalization.

The noted Karl von Clausewitz (1780-1831), Prussian strategist and general, stated in his renowned work On War: “War is not an exercise of will directed at inanimate matter, as is the case with the mechanical arts, or at matter that is animated but passive and docile, as is the case with mind and human emotions in the arts. In war, the will is directed at a reactive animated object.” In turn, Alfred T. Mahan, renowned historian, and strategist of the U.S. Navy (1840-1914), stated: “Possession of a powerful fleet is essential to ensure national security and trade, as it protects shipping lanes and projects naval power globally.” This work deals with the critical and propositional analysis of these concepts – as well as others equally valuable and complementary – while delving into theories of war and strategic leadership, as a contribution of the teachers and students of the first cohort of the Doctorate in Strategic Studies, Security and Defense, of the Escuela Superior de Guerra “General Rafael Reyes Prieto”, to the study and research of these pertinent topics, so indispensable to understand Colombia of the last 50 years.
