come to join forces in pursuit of common goals,” said Brazilian Marine Corps Colonel Stewart da Paixão Gomes, commander of the Tonelero Battalion, where a large part of the 2019 JCET was completed. We expand interoperability and increase the chances of success in future operations and exercises in which Brazil and the U.S. The interaction, knowledge and experience exchanges allow for improvement of our operators’ capabilities. “These trainings are an excellent opportunity for our navies to strengthen their long-lasting ties of friendship and cooperation. In previous editions of this exchange, the SEAL teams conducted isolated trainings with GRUMEC and the Tonelero Battalion,” Brazilian Marine Corps First Lieutenant Armindo Melo Peixoto, a member of the Tonelero Battalion, who attended this year’s JCET, told Diálogo.

“This may be the first time this training combines the personnel from these four special units. SWCC operates and maintains a small vessel inventory used in special operations missions, especially those of the Navy SEALs. The Special Warfare Combatant-craft Crewmen (SWCC) also participated in the exercise. The number may eventually go up to 100.įrom April 16 to May 16, the Brazilian Navy (MB, in Portuguese) hosted the JCET in their Rio de Janeiro facilities, which presented an unusual characteristic for this exercise: It gathered members of the Brazilian Navy Combat Divers’ Group (GRUMEC, in Portuguese), the Brazilian Marine Corps Special Operations Battalion (Tonelero Battalion), and the United States Navy Sea, Air, and Land Teams, commonly known as Navy SEALs. Each JCET program typically includes 10 to 40 members of the U.S. Special Forces may have to operate, and expand the range of training of the host nations’ armed forces. JCETs are always held in countries with which the U.S. The Joint Combined Exchange Training, or JCET, consists of exercises designed to provide training opportunities to special operators from the United States and partner nations. The Joint Combined Exchange Training took place in Rio de Janeiro, April 16-May 16.
