Summary/Abstract: Given the high costs involved in endowing an army and changing doctrines to employ forces in military actions, it is necessary to clearly define the threats and the requirements to equip forces with military technique for building and developing military capabilities. In this context, it is necessary to use certain tools to substantiate decisions. One of the most important tools that can be used at strategic level, in conditions of uncertainty, to substantiate these decisions is the scenario. This article presents the requirements to be followed for developing a strategic level scenario, the way of choosing the most appropriate scenarios, and a methodology to develop these types of scenarios.
