October 30th is War Material
October 30th is War Material Day. This date is dedicated to reflecting on the importance of the materials used in the armed forces, including weapons, vehicles and military equipment, and aims to recognize the work of the professionals involved in their manufacture, maintenance and innovation. The choice of October 30th refers to the year 1946, when the War Material Service (SMB) of the Brazilian Army was created. This service was responsible for supervising and managing all aspects related to the acquisition and development of war material. The creation of the SMB marked a significant step in strengthening Brazil's military capacity, which sought to modernize and expand its armed forces after World War II. The date is an opportunity to highlight the evolution of military technology and the importance of war material in the country's defense.
