Autoethnography (military, environment) as transdisciplinarization in anthropocene times

The problem of (in) sustainability associated with the idea that the environment is reaching its limit, presented itself as the crisis of our time and as the challenge of the Anthropocene. Seeking to deepen the discussion on military thinking about the environment, this essayistic autoethnography is designed in three parts: (a) the autoethnography; (b) presentation of some experiences called episodes, as they are the circumstances of the researcher; and (c) considerations about a transdisciplinary process in the military milieu toward an environmental epistemology. Military personnel need environmental education as epistemological support in the absence of deep ecological awareness. Even with the environmental training of using nature as a resource, military personnel may have professional skills adapted to environmental competence for crisis prevention and aggravation (transdisciplinary). However, anthropocentric military thinking is a cultural barrier. Further study of a military epistemology must be undertaken to achieve a possibly balanced and mitigated position.
