CCOPAB carries out EAOP for the Brazilian Engineering Company
Aquidauana (MS) - From 25 to 30 of October, the Brazilian Peace Operations Joint Training Center (CCOPAB, acronym in Portuguese) carried out the UN Pre-Deployment Advanced Field Exercise (EAOP, acronym in Portuguese), last phase of the preparation of the Brazilian Engineering Company - BRAENGCOY, which will be part of the 23rd Brazilian Contingent for the UN Mission for Stabilization in Haiti (MINUSTAH, acronym in French) from November on.
The aim of EAOP was to assess and certify the performance of BRAENGCOY before several simulations that tried to portray the operational environment that the Company may face in that country while in the mission.
This week there were simulations very close to reality and which were supported by university students and security organs from Aquidauana.
The training of the company consisted of accidents with multiple victims, riot control operations, manning of static points, use of non-lethal weapons, unblocking of roads, transport of ballot boxes, besides the ordinary activities of an engineering company in Haiti such as reconnaissance, patrols in lakes and disposal of explosive ordnance.
BRAENGCOY's next phase is the boarding, when 120 military personnel, male and female, will go to Haiti.
