GARANO, Santiago. Ensayo del terrorismo de Estado en Argentina: el Operativo Independencia (Tucumán, 1975-1977). Bol. Inst. Hist. Argent. Am. Dr. Emilio Ravignani [online]. 2021, n.54, pp.137-162. ISSN 0524-9767.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.34096/bol.rav.n54.9533.

The general purpose of this paper is to contribute to the study on the emergence of State terrorism in Argentina, deployed centrally during the last military dictatorship that took place between March 24, 1976 and December 10, 1983. To do so, we will address a paradigmatic case: the Operation Independence (Operativo Independencia), a military campaign developed in Tucumán between February 1975 and December 1977, a province located in the northwest of the country, where one year before the start of the de facto government this type of repression was implemented for the first time. In this work, we will carry out a detailed reconstruction of the military development of the Operation Independence, giving an account of how it was planned by the military authorities, its main phases, intervening actors and the modalities and dynamics of the political repression deployed during the Independence Operation; all issues not yet developed in the field of studies on repression and political violence. Our hypothesis is that the direct use of repression in the Operation Independence allowed the Army, to train the troops in this repressive modality, thanks to a system of personnel rotation that involved the bulk of active military personnel.
