>Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has authorized a group of 294 military personnel from the US to come to the country and take part in a combined exercise with the Brazilian Army in the Eastern Amazon.
>The activities will take place from October 24 to November 20 in Belém, capital of the Northern state of Pará, as well as in the municipalities of Ferreira Gomes, Oiapoque, and Macapá, in Amapá state. >Operation Core 23 (Combined Operation and Rotation Exercise) comes as part of a defense cooperation agreement forged in 2015 between the governments of the two nations.
>In addition to the contingent of military personnel, the US agents will enter the country with weapons, sensors, optical devices, as well as control and communication technology.
>In May, a delegation of US military personnel visited the Northern Military Command (CMN) to assess structural conditions and supplies linked to health and food. Evaluated at the time were the 2nd >Jungle Infantry Battalion and the 2nd Supply Company of the 8th Supply Depot, in Belém; the Clevelândia do Norte Special Border Company, in Oiapoque; and the 34th Jungle Infantry Battalion, in Macapá.
>According to the Brazilian Army, during Operation Core 23 the two military forces intend to exchange experiences on defense techniques, tactics, and procedures. The primary objective of the exercise is to strengthen military cooperation between the countries.
What kind of tactics do the participants of these exercises learn?
It's bilateral so both nations will have training in each one's territory.
Sounds like it would be entirely dependent on what kind of troops the US sends
Probably a company of normal infantry, maybe airborne, plus a couple other companies
>What kind of tactics do the participants of these exercises learn?
Getting their asses kicked, usually. The lessons learned are more about the after action reports and looking at what doctrinal aspects lead to the failures, how to unfuck al lthat. Waypoint 2028-2029 is gonna need a lot of work to be achieved.
I wish them lots of bunda and not too much AIDS
unironically what could Brazil, a shitty country inhabited by retarded people with no military experience whatsoever and a shittier military to boot, possibly teach the literal gods of war?
This is gonna be a shitfest and US troops are gonna look like lions among a bunch of newborn kittens.
>Day 23 in the Brazilian Jungle.
>Have aids now, Snu Snu was worth it.
>Do not invade, MIA's too high, Agent Orange and fire.
>Tell my children, the Portuguese version of AY Caramba.
Their expeditionary unit got a lot of praise from Allied commanders during WWII. TA88m
They also had a goofy lil unit patch, always cracks a smile from me
Brazil has harsh terrain not present in the US and is more advanced most of the third world. This exercise is probably "how could we lose to an equatorial country on their home turf?" It's just training.
Given its terrain is the opposite of Afghanistan, different lessons from what burgers could learned from goat herders
>The primary objective of the exercise is to
collect intelligence.
W-wait, what about BRICS?
Lula knows in his heart that Brazil is stuck with the US if shit ever hits the fan with China or Russia
Yet he keeps sucking Russia and China’s cock on every geopolitical issue and won’t condemn Venezuela.
Playing both sides as the little guy at the big kids table is standard practice just like it has been for the last 80 years. You'd be retarded not to
Lula hasn’t done shit for America, what other side is he playing?
If only they actually sent gibs to Brazil so the economy wouldn't be stuck... Then I would be fine with Lula dick sucking those countries.
The US hasn't done anything for Brazil, so there is no point in doing anything for them either.
We made Bolsonaro
And that didn't help shit. Brazil just did the usual and ended up in the same place.
I read an account from an US officer that went to one of those, it seems more like a kind of military tourism, play in the jungle a little and then come back, it's not very meaningful.
He is completely invested on the multipolar world meme, I guess Brazil is supposed to be the natural ruler of this region or something like Russia and china are in their respective regions.
But It's not like he can stop the army from doing what it wants, as long as he keeps them appeased with new toys and lots of playtime they'll let him do his thing.
Why the fuck would we help a commie like Lula? He can fuck off and ask Russia for gibs.
