Altamira (PA) – From May 8 to 26, 2023, a Mobile Training Team (EMT) of the Brazilian Joint Center for Peace Operations (CCOPAB) conducted the Commanders and Staff Preparation Instruction (IPCEM) of the Quick Reaction Company (QRF) specialized in Jungle Operations.

This phase of the QRF preparation, to be offered by Brazil to the United Nations Peacekeeping Capabilities Readiness System (UNPCRS), was developed over a period of three weeks, the first of which was conducted in the distance learning modality, through the EBAula platform, when the military could become familiar with the basic concepts related to peacekeeping missions, providing the conceptual basis necessary for the following weeks of face-to-face activities.

The following weeks were held at the 51st Jungle Infantry Battalion’s facilities, addressing in a theoretical and practical way the content present in the specialized training modules, aiming to provide the necessary knowledge to the Fraction Commanders and members of the QRF’s General Staff to perform their functions in the context of a Peace Operation.

The third and last week of training was marked by several entirely practical exercises, with the purpose of simulating situations that the Jungle Rapid Reaction Company may possibly find when deployed in Peace Missions under the aegis of the United Nations (UN).
