Captains Course in the USA
The course for captains in the USA, where the Brazilian Army soldier gained prominence, is structured in three main phases, namely company, command and battalion.
Its main assessment tool is oral expression, responsible for providing immediate feedback to students, assessing not only the ability to communicate effectively, but also tactical thinking processes and skills in decision-making.
The course evaluation criteria for Captains in the USA also include Physical Assessment Test, planning using the Command Work (Troop Leading Procedure – TLP), ability to work as part of a General Staff Unit level.
The participation of Brazilian military personnel in the MCCC aims to improve leadership and military tactics skills, reinforcing the commitment and importance of the partnership between the Brazilian and US armies.
Furthermore, it is also an important tool for integration and mutual understanding between armies. It also strengthens the bonds of friendship and cooperation between all countries participating in the course, fostering interoperability and promoting global security.
Brazilians gain prominence abroad
In addition to this Brazilian Army soldier who stood out at the MCCC, in November of last year, Captain Túlio Moreira completed with distinction the United States Army Anti-Aircraft Artillery Captains Improvement Course, in Fort Sill, Oklahoma.
Among 27 officers, 15 Americans and 12 foreigners, the Brazilian captain came in second place overall and was awarded the MG Infante IMS Honor Graduate medal, an honor granted to the foreigner who achieved the best performance.
The Brazilian Army's military classification highlights Brazil's prestige on the international stage and highlights the training of Brazilian military personnel in high-level training. The course for captains in the US lasts six months and aims to train technical and tactical leaders in Anti-Aircraft Defense systems, generating decision-making skills in complex and challenging environments.

Brazilian military personnel are more respected and valued abroad than in Brazil. This is the result of the anti-patriotism preached on Brazilian soil.
“Phases” and not “does”.
What use are these military courses in the US?
They get worse and worse, are they vassal courses?
I don't believe in the future of this country, there are too many sold-out soldiers...
