The U.S. Army, in partnership with the Brazilian Army, are conducting Exercise Southern Vanguard 22, a combined military training exercise aimed at improving combined forces readiness, November 28–December 18.
Southern Vanguard 22, a U.S. Southern Command-sponsored annual exercise at the operational and tactical levels, aims to increase interoperability between U.S. and Western Hemisphere forces.
More than 1,000 service members are participating in the exercise, including forces from Brazil’s 5th Battalion, 12th Infantry Brigade, as well as U.S. Army South, and 101st Airborne Division to conduct joint tactical training focused on simulating encounters with irregular forces in semi-rural and urban settings in Resende, Rio de Janeiro.
The bilateral training opportunity is the culmination of numerous engagements between U.S. Army South and the Brazilian Army to promote efforts to develop professional partnerships and increase mutual readiness.
