About CORE (Combined Operation And Rotation Exercise)
CORE (Combined Operation And Rotation Exercise) is a joint training conducted annually between the Brazilian Army and the United States Army. Created to strengthen military cooperation between the two countries, the exercise focuses on the development of combined operations, allowing troops to share knowledge and tactics. Since its inception, CORE has been an essential platform for Brazilian military personnel to improve their operational skills in diverse environments, as well as promoting integration and interoperability between the two forces.
Each year, CORE alternates its location between the United States and Brazil, providing a rich and diverse experience for participants. During the exercise, modern operational concepts are applied and intensive training is conducted, which includes everything from jungle operations, in the case of specialized Brazilian troops, to airborne exercises. This exchange not only enhances troop readiness and response capability but also strengthens diplomatic and defense ties between Brazil and the United States.
