Três Corações (MG) – On November 5, around 1,500 military personnel occupied the Polo Field of the Weapons Sergeants School (ESA) for the Operational Readiness of the 2023 School Maneuver, coordinated by the Directorate of Military Technical Education (DETMil).
Operational Readiness is the stage of preparation in which a military ground organization is ready to be deployed on a combat mission, with all its equipment, weapons, vehicles, ammunition, supplies and other bundles of material. The readiness of the soldiers involves a set of measures relating to instruction, using simulation, interviews with the international press, briefings and issuing orders to the units, as well as combat support logistics.
