Jungle Operations International Course – Guidelines for Candidates

2. PHYSICAL PREPARATION

A Preliminary Physical Fitness Test (EAFP) will be held in the candidate's country as a selection, by the Brazilian Military Attaché or corresponding. In the mobilization week, CIGS will apply the Definitive Physical Fitness Test (EAFD). The correct execution of the physical tests can be observed in the videos contained in the links that are found along with the guidelines on the CIGS website at http://www.cigs.eb.mil.br/index.php/cursos/estágios/156­estagios The EAFP results must be sent by the military attaché to the 5 th Section of the Brazilian Army Headquarters (International Affairs Section) in the e­mail [email protected] and and to the Students Division of CIGS, by the e­mail [email protected] until D – 110 . The candidates who do not reach the rates will not be enrolled and must return to their countries of origin, according to IRISM/CIGS. To this end, the physical preparation should aim not only the EAFP and EAFD, as the course load has physical training and other activities that require resistance to intense and extended physical effort. Therefore, the physical preparation must aim the course performance. Sometimes, even being approved in the EAF, the student presents difficulties in performing some tasks. The tactical swimming instruction can be used as an example, where the lack of specific physical preparation may endanger the safety and performance of the student in the course. The preparation for the swimming activities should be done gradually, starting with the candidate swimming and floating in trunks and throughout the training, the candidate should increase the time and the weight anchored to the body, so that, by the end of the preparation, the candidate is able to swim distances longer than 2.000m wearing the full combat uniform and using the tactical vest (individual equipment – belt, suspenders, vest) and float for at least 15 (fifteen) minutes with the full combat uniform, tactical vest and armed with his Assault Rifle. The Assault Rifle which will be used in CIOS weighs about 4 kg. It is worth saying that training with another type of device is good, but it does not reflect the use of a real Assault Rifle. When possible, the training must be carried out with the individual weapon. It is advisable that the swimming training could be done after other intense physical activities as it reflects the reality of the course, where the student performs the swimming activities already tired due to other previous physical activities.

Jungle Warfare, an efficient test! Page |8

Jungle Operations International Course – Guidelines for Candidates

The candidate must also get prepared for aerobic (continuous running) and neuromuscular activities, mainly lower limbs, due to the long distances that will be covered during the course and upper limbs to bear the weight of the backpack. In order to be in good physical condition to be approved in the EAF and attend CIOS, the candidate must follow a physical training schedule organized by a specialist. In the ANNEX “D” , the candidate will find a physical training program, prepared by the Brazilian Army Physical Training Research Institute (IPCFEx) with the collaboration of CIGS, which may be used as a subsidy for his /her preparation. Other professionals from the health area like doctors, nutritionists, physiotherapists, etc. may be consulted according to individual needs. For the close combat activities, the candidate must seek for specific preparation in order to avoid injuries due to the lack of technical capacity. Throughout CIOS, the student will undergo intense physical effort, such as:

TASKS – running, tactical swimming and close combat Running up to ten (10) km in 60 min, wearing the full combat uniform with cap and no shirt. Taking off the equipment inside the water wearing the full combat uniform, armed with the Assault Rifle and equipped with tactical vest (individual equipment) and the backpack within a pre determined time. Performing the modified side swimming (Indian) for at least 15 min in full combat uniform, armed with the Assault Rifle and wearing the tactical vest Swimming at least 800m with the full combat uniform, with the tactical vest, using a rope attached to the body to drag the backpack and weapon anchored. Floating with full combat uniform, armed with the Assault Rifle, wearing the tactical vest for at least 15 min continuously Performing submerged swimming wearing the full combat uniform, with the tactical vest for at least 15 min. Swim up to 200 m, wearing the full combat uniform, with the tactical vest and the Assault Rifle on shoulder.. Performing the fight techniques for personal defense, disarm of opponent, falls and projections

4. ORGANIC PREPARATION

Since CIOS is a combat course, with specific characteristics of the jungle operating environment, in order to succeed, the candidate should be in excellent organic conditions. The candidate must take previous health care, especially dental care, and take care of chronic diseases. During the course, medicines must be only taken under medical orientation. The immunization by vaccine (tetanus, yellow fever, hepatitis B) will prevent diseases. It is important that the military with chronic and joint diseases go through a specific preparation, being aware that such health problems can affect his/her performance during the Course. Candidates for the Jungle Operations International Course SHOULD NOT use anabolic, protein compound, energy drinks or weight­reducing substances and other synthetic substances to increase strength and muscle tone. In addition, it is emphasized that not ingesting medications that seek the correction of serious allergy problems or infectious­ contagious disease is of utmost importance for the student's performance during the realization of CIOS. Candidates must follow these recommendations at least six (06) months before the course starts. Candidates will fill in the Term of Commitment of non­use of prohibited substances during the Mobilization Week, distributed by the Students Division. It is worth mentioning that prohibited substances have as examples: Thermogenic, Anabolic or Ergogenic resources (pharmacological and nutritional), etc.

Jungle Operations International Course – Guidelines for Candidates

6. PSYCHOLOGICAL PREPARATION

The Jungle Operations International Course (CIOS) aims to specialize military personnel to participate in military operations in a jungle environment. For this, the Jungle Warrior needs to have the capabilities to face, in the best possible conditions, peculiar and challenging situations that are typical of the jungle operations. Due to this, the development of several ATTITUDES written in the CIOS Professional Profile (PP) grows in importance during the course: PHYSICAL COURAGE, DECISION, DEDICATION, EMOTIONAL BALANCE, INITIATIVE, PERSISTENCE, RUSTICITY, among others. In the pursuit of excellence to stimulate the development of these attitudes in the students, several activities are carried out, which allied to the extended time of the course end up characterizing stress factors. In order for the student to be able to deal with these stress factors as best as possible, some precautions can be taken before the beginning of the course, such as: 1. Knowledge of the physical symptoms of stress: a. breathing ­ shortness of breath, dizziness, feeling of having something heavy on the chest; b. cardiovascular ­ palpitation, tachycardia, elevation of blood pressure; c. digestive ­ nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, loss of appetite; d. elimination system ­ increased evacuation frequency and urinary activity, sweating; e. muscular / skeletal ­ trembling and oscillations; and f. appearance ­ walking different, looking down, yellowish skin, dark circles, restlessness. 2. Knowledge of emotional and psychological stress symptoms: The range of emotions may include fear, terror, anxiety, irritability, resentment, anger, fury, guilt, shame, loneliness, depression, apathy, coldness, hysterical outbursts, loss of confidence, hope or faith, and thinking of yourself as a failure.

Jungle Operations International Course – Guidelines for Candidates

3. Manage personal and family problems: a. solve concerns about physical and psychological health; b. manage financial problems; c. concerns about the health of wife, children and family; d. concerns about the safety of family members while away from home; e. create a support network for the family during your absence; f. make excellent physical and intellectual preparation; g. know your limits and manage subjective conflicts, among other situations that may be pertinent; and h. make the family aware that there will be little contact, but it is a routine of the course, it does not mean that there is going to be a problem. Taking some precautions before the course can contribute significantly to the student training process as it allows for adjustment of situations that avoid excess stress and help in understanding the stressful situation

Jungle Warfare, an efficient test! Page |20

Jungle Operations International Course – Guidelines for Candidates

7. DOCTRINAL INTERACTION

The purpose of the Doctrinal Interaction is to promote the exchange of doctrine, military knowledge and combat experiences in the jungle environment among the Friendly Nations participating in the Jungle Operations International Course (CIOS). This exchange also aims at the military's own training to combat in the jungle, and provides a better performance for students in the development of CIOS. The Doctrinal Interaction is part of the CIOS Teaching Activities Board and will take place during the mobilization week, before the beginning of the course itself. Candidates should prepare themselves for the activity in advance, selecting materials regarding the subjects that will be approached and practiced during the course. All subjects to be covered during the course are available in this guideline in ANNEX "E" – STUDENT’S PREPARATION FOR DOCTRINAL INTERACTION.

Figure 17: Doctrinal Interaction Source: CIGS Public Affairs

Jungle Operations International Course – Guidelines for Candidates

8. MATERIAL PREPARATION

The student should prioritize the quality of the gear so that his/her individual performance is not impaired due to the inefficiency of the tools and gear purchased. It is appropriate to point out that the hot and humid climate of the jungle, as well as the stressful training activities, deteriorate the material, for example, the effect of oxidation. When the student is moved to the Instruction Bases, located in the Training Field Area, he will conduct his tactical vest, backpack and duffle bag. Therefore, it is recommended that at the end of the mobilization week all the material is ready to be used. In the ANNEX "F" ­ GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE MATERIALS ­ the candidate will find the list of all the mandatory and suggested materials necessary for the course. The constitution of some kits must take into account the particularities of each military, so that each kit contains the material necessary for the accomplishment of the missions. There are some kits and materials that are mandatory; however some other items will be at the discretion of the student. A lot of these materials can be purchased in the local stores of Manaus city. Special attention should be paid to the practicality, portability and waterproofing of kits. The containers should not be too large and heavy and must be packed in the equipment or backpack, in a place where it can be quickly accessed. Most of the time, during the Course, the student’s backpack and duffle bag will be the only source of gear. All the anchoring of the individual equipment must be done with ropes; karabiners must be made of steel or iron. The flashlight must have its light reduced. The student is allowed to bring his own backpack which may be used during the whole course and his hydration pack which may be used by order of the Coordinators. It is worth saying that all materials must be olive green, black or green and black camouflage. The candidate should try NOT TO EXCEED THE WEIGHT OF 15 kg on his backpack, including the mandatory and optional material.

Jungle Operations International Course – Guidelines for Candidates

Regarding the student’s health, it is important to state that self­medication is prohibited in any situation during the Course. Thus, in case of necessity, the medical team that constantly monitors CIOS will perform medical care and prescribe the drugs to be used. Drugs of routine use may be carried by the student in his/her first­aid kit, such as: bandages, antiseptic, antifungal, and analgesic medication (since the student has a medical prescription) in order to solve minor injuries.

9. GUIDELINES TO THE FEMALE SEGMENT

In instructions where the use of bathing suit is needed, it will be required to wear a black swimsuit with black lycra shorts over it. In all activities, it is mandatory to wear a black bustier (top) under the combat uniform.

11. OTHERS a. THE JUNGLE WARRIOR’S PRAYER

Lord, You that shall order the Jungle Warrior: “Surpass all your opponents!” Shall give us today in the forest: The strength to persist, The patience to ambush, The perseverance to survive, The astuteness to dissimulate, The faith to resist and win. And shall give us too, Lord The hope and the certainty of returning. But when defending this Brazilian Amazon, If we have to perish, oh God, We shall do it with dignity, And we shall deserve victory! JUNGLE!

Author: 1st Lieutenant Humberto Batista Leal CIGS Instructor 1982

b. JUNGLE WARFARE LAWS

1. Take the initiative because you will not receive orders for all situations. Keep in mind the ultimate goal. 2. Look for the surprise by all means. 3. Keep your body, weapons and equipment in good condition. 4. Learn to endure the discomfort and the fatigue without complaining and be moderate in your needs. 5. Think and act as a hunter, not as the hunted. 6. Always fight with intelligence and be elusive. SELVA !

ANNEX D ­ PHYSICAL TRAINING PROGRAM, PREPARED BY THE BRAZILIAN ARMY PHYSICAL TRAINING RESEARCH INSTITUTE (IPCFEX) WITH THE COLLABORATION OF CIGS

 PURPOSE

This training program was developed aiming to prepare and adapt the candidate, physically and psychologically, to the specific physical activities that will be carried out during the Jungle Operations Course. To do this, before starting this training plan, it is necessary a general physical preparation, with the objective of improving the work capacity, developing a physiological ballast. To begin the training plan the candidate must have at least the mention Very Good in the last physical fitness test.

 PRESCRIPTIONS

• Organization of the plan During the week, the military man must complete the 4 daily training modules in sequence (A, B, C and D), consisting of two training sessions (the candidate must perform the sessions on different shifts: morning, afternoon or evening). In addition, the military must follow the guidelines contained in the table of observations. The plan seeks to adapt the training load to the work routine in Military Organizations (duty, instructions, various situations, etc.), and the candidate is responsible for planning the execution of the training during the week. Example: Sgt SELVA started the week by performing training A on Monday, he is on duty Tuesday, on Wednesday performed training B, on Thursday helped in the firing instruction of his Subunit, on Friday performed training C and on Saturday finished the activities planned for the week with training D.

• Warm up / stretching Before carrying out the main work in the plan, the candidate must perform the warm­up, which is the set of physical activities that aims to prepare the military, both organically and psychologically, for the execution of the main work, through the increase of body temperature, heart rate.

Jungle Operations International Course – Guidelines for Candidates

He also should, at the end of the main activity, perform the cooling / stretching, also known as "cooling" or "back to calm", which consists of an organic demobilization, taking metabolism to the softer requirements of the resting level.

• Recommendations about hydration Before, during and after each exercise session, the following recommendation regarding fluid intake should be followed: Before the exercise: 4h before the exercise: 400 to 600 ml of water; 10 to 15 minutes before: 200 to 350 ml of water. During the exercise: <60 min: 80 to 200 ml of water each 15 / 20 min. >60 min: 150 to 200 ml of water each 15 / 20 min. After the exercise: For the replacement of lost fluid, body weight should be measured before and after exercise. For each kilo lost, about 1 liter of water or other liquid must be ingested in a fractional way. the liquid to be ingested should preferably be fresh (15 to 22°C).

• Nutritional guidelines:

Carry out 4 to 6 meals a day, including in all food carbohydrate sources. Avoid skipping meals (3­hour intervals); Breakfast and afternoon snack: milk and / or dairy products, fruit vitamins, bread or biscuit, fruit and cereals; Collation (fast snack in the middle of the morning): juices, fruits, whole grains, dehydrated fruits and biscuits; Lunch and dinner: vegetables, vegetables, rice, beans, meat or chicken or fish, potatoes or pasta or flour and fruit; Supper: milk and / or derivatives, jams, toast and biscuits;

Feeding up to an hour before is aimed at maintaining blood glucose levels to start exercise. This meal should always contain carbohydrates, especially those with low to moderate glycemic index (slower absorption): fruits such as apple, guava or pear, breads (preferably with a mixture of white and whole flour), whole­grain toast, oatmeal and ceral mixa; Throughout the training, avoid consumption of high­fat foods: fritters type breaded and salty snacks, mayonnaise, sour cream, bacon, butter, stuffed biscuits, yellow cheeses, sausages, pizzas;

Jungle Operations International Course – Guidelines for Candidates

In the absence of carbohydrate, the muscle protein is used as energy source for physical activity (can lead to loss of muscle mass, effect contrary to the goal); Post­exercise feeding aims to accelerate recovery and restore energy to the next day. Important: The "refueling" period goes up to 45 minutes after the end of the physical exercise. So this is the best time to eat food. This meal should always contain carbohydrates, especially those of moderate to high glycemic index (faster absorption): Fruits or fruit juice such as banana, mango, orange, coconut water, tubers such as potatoes and applesauce and cereals such as white breads and noodles with Light sauces. Include on a daily basis healthy and good quality foods, such as the following food groups: 1) Cereals: rice, corn, oats, wheat and derivatives (eg breads, biscuits, pasta, flour, etc.). 2) Legumes: beans, lentils, peas and soybeans. 3) Meats: beef, chicken, fish and turkey. 4) Milk and dairy products: yogurt, curds and white cheeses. 5) Vegetables: lettuce, tomato, broccoli, carrot, pod, potatoes and yams. 6) Fruits: orange, banana, papaya, kiwi and mandarin. NOTE: The group of cereals, legumes and fruits are rich in carbohydrates.

Dietary supplementation with the consumption of protein modules, amino acid or hypercaloric capsules may or may not be indicated depending on each individual. For such cases it is necessary to consult a nutritionist to assess their need according to their purpose. Only this professional based on the individual evaluation of each candidate can guide the adequate consumption of food supplementation. It is worth noting that supplementation is not a substitute for daily meals.

• NeuroMuscular Training The candidate should seek guidance with the Military Physical Training Officer of the Unit or with a qualified professional, to set up the Neuromuscularsets, with the objective of developing localized muscular resistance (RML) and strengthening the core muscles , Based on the principles of military physical training such as biological individuality, adaptation, overload, continuity and specificity. Core muscles can be worked through a variety of training methods. The IPCFEx recommends the use of the suspension training method with the use of the inelastic tape and makes itself available for any clarification.

GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR THE STUDENT’S PREPARATION – CIOS 2018

The Doctrinal Interaction will take place on 03 (three) distinct days, and each day a specific block of issues will be dealt with in the jungle environment. During the selection process, still in the country of origin, the future student should receive, through the Military Attaché of his country, the subjects that will be addressed in the Doctrinal Interaction. Each subject contains requests with questions that must be answered and presented by the student in the Doctrinal Interaction. The requests, requisites, maps, letters and information required to resolve the requests are contained in the body of this document. Each student must answer all the questions of the requests in a single document in the ".doc" format and also in a single file in the ". ppt" format. These files must be recorded in a flash drive or CD – Rom and brought to CIGS with the student. A military from the Doctrinal and Research Division will collect the files on the first day of the Mobilization Week at CIGS.
