Amaro Soares Bittencourt (1885–1963) was a

Legion of Honor (Officer) for his wartime service, and Brazil awarded him the Order of Military Merit ( Ordem do Mérito Militar). The Major General was a graduate of Brazil’s Escola Militar and its Escola de Estado-Maior.^[1]

In Brazil itself, where the military played a significant role in civilian infrastructure development and administration, the Lieutenant General with Brazilian Admiral Ary Parreiras led in a civilian capacity the Special Commission on Steel of Brazil’s Federal Technical and Financial Council. Most significantly, in 1939 this commission created a controversy when it voted to make Brazil’s ore exports a state monopoly as a precondition to the nation’s founding of a state steelworks. The government of Brazil did not ultimately follow the commission's recommendation.^[2]
