The Exercício Felino 2026, a multinational military exercise held in Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil, concluded on August 21, 2026. Organized by the Brazilian Ministry of Defense, the training brought together 740 military personnel from six Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP) members: Brazil, Angola, Equatorial Guinea, Mozambique, Portugal, and Timor-Leste. Division General Julio Cesar Belaguarda Nagy de Oliveira described the exercise as the primary joint military activity for the CPLP. The training utilized a fictional scenario involving a country named ‘Carana’ to simulate humanitarian crises, ethnic conflicts, and political instability. The primary objective was to prepare armed forces for United Nations peacekeeping missions by improving interoperability, command and control, and decision-making. Training activities encompassed a wide range of modern warfare challenges, including chemical decontamination, explosive ordnance disposal, civilian protection, and humanitarian assistance for refugees. The operation also incorporated drone employment and protocols for the prevention of sexual exploitation and abuse. The logistical scale of the exercise involved 119 vehicles from the Navy, Army, and Air Force, alongside eight naval vessels and two aircraft. General de Oliveira noted that the training serves as an instrument for military preparation, international cooperation, and societal protection, while aiming to strengthen diplomatic and defense ties among CPLP members.
