The Brazilian military is winding down Exercise ‘Operation Celeiro’, which ran from 1 to 16 April around the Paraguay River, about 220 km from Cuiabá, in the state of Mato Grosso by the Bolivian border.
The exercise’s scenario is the invasion of Brazilian territory by an unknown foreign enemy, with an objective of re-taking lost territory.
Brazil’s Sixth Naval District is overseeing the event, and is contributing troops as well as air and naval platforms. Some of the vessels participating are patrol boats Piratini (P 10) and Poti (P 15), support ship Potengi (G 17), and river transport ship Paraguassu(G 15).
