This thesis has as its object of study the myths and rites in officer training (higher education) in the military schools of the Brazilian Army. In the time frame worked, from 1889 to 1931, there was some disagreement about the ideal model of a soldier (military) to be formed in these schools: a citizen-soldier, prepared to face intellectual and political issues of his time; or professional soldier, away from the political, activism respectful of hierarchy and discipline, and geared just for weapons handling and preparation for war. However, all these two notions of soldier presented himself marked by numerous values identified military and interconnected to the mythical field as rites of passage and every day; civic ceremonies; cult of historical characters as models of soldier; use of uniforms; beyond the formation of a number of symbols that sought guide procedures. The objective of this research was to understand the relationship of myths and rites constituted military schools with the construction of an identity model Army officer. The methodology consisted of analysis of the sources and book report, seeking to build sets of information that helped us understand certain mythical constructions on the military. Primary sources were used, with emphasis on the documentation produced by the Military Schools of Ceara, in Rio de Janeiro (Red Beach) and Rio Grande do Sul. Printed matter, such as magazines and newspapers, produced by students of schools military, as well as publications memorialísticas alumni, also were used. Since the "myths" and "rites" were the perspectives through which it was proposed to understand the formation of the Military Schools, aimed a theoretical contribution in the field of Anthropology authors who discussed these concepts. The study showed that both the training based on the citizen-soldier model as training based on the model of the professional soldier were marked by values that sought to give an identification to the military and guide her behavior and roles to be played. We conclude that, in the time frame examined, the military identity constituted dynamically, but always linked to the field of myths, rites and traditions.
