Perceptions of a Brazilian Officer about the Argentine Army Air Assault Course

In Argentina, as well as in Brazil, because they are nations of continental dimensions, the military must be able to fight regardless of the region of the country to which they are assigned. It is noteworthy that, in terms of current regionalism, South American Defense Integration is among Brazil's strategic objectives. In this context, in relation to military courses, the purpose of this article is to report impressions about the Air Assault Course, of the Air Assault Regiment 601. By the Argentine Army, there is great prestige and interest in training military personnel in this activity, since only those who complete will be qualified for employment in Air Assault missions. However, more than half of the volunteers (from various Military Organizations in the Argentine Army) did not make adequate prior preparation to meet the physical requirements of the initial tests. As for the course instructions, organization, preparation and employment, it was evident that the methods and techniques taught are very valid and similar to those used by the Brazilian Army, being adequate to the doctrinal aspects of the United States Army. Anyway, this troop must be able to operate in any operational environment, this time it performs training in several areas of the Argentine territory, aiming to specialize its officers and officers. it was evident that the methods and techniques taught are very valid and similar to those used by the Brazilian Army, being adequate to the doctrinal aspects of the United States Army.
