Cascavel (PR) – From 7 to 11 June 2021, the Mobile Training Team (MTT) of the Brazilian Peace Operations Joint Training Center – Sergio Vieira de Mello Center – carried out the Civil-Military Coordination Course (CIMIC), contributing towards the training of soldiers from the Infantry Battalion (PKF), of the 15 Mechanized Infantry Brigade, which is available to the United Nations Peacekeeping Capability Readiness System (UNPCRS).

The activity covered the UN DPO CIMIC doctrine (Core Pre-Deployment Training Material and Specialized Training Materials), so that participants can hold positions relating to the UN Civil Affairs System.

Apart from CCOPAB instructors (MTT), it is important to highlight the participation of the following authorities:
- Mr. Gabriel Valladares, from the International Committee of the Red Cross; Dr. Eduarda Hammann, General Coordinator of the Brazilian Research Network on Peace Operations (REBRAPAZ); and Mrs. Silvia Corradi Sander, Liaison Officer of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).

By having group debates and pratical exercises, ten soldiers could benefit from the chance of interacting in a multidimensional environment, as we find in peace operations.
