Jungle Operations International Course
GUIDELINES TO CANDIDATES (Updated on Aug 1st, 2017)
1. AIM To establish the first contact with the military from the Friendly Nations, candidates to the Jungle Operations International Course, guiding them to their intellectual, physical, organic, psychological, material and administrative preparation for the Course.
To greet the military from the Friendly Nations who have decided to attend the Jungle Operations International Course, to be carried out by the Jungle Warfare Instruction Center (CIGS), the world reference for operations in the Jungle, thereby demonstrating a high sense of professionalism and search for the technical professional improvement.
2. GENERAL GUIDELINES The Jungle Operations International Course is specialized in combat training. Therefore, it
requires that the candidate, future Trainee, has some basic professional knowledge related to military activities that are taught in their native countries. This knowledge will be adapted to operations in jungle environment during the Course.
It is interesting that the candidates to the Jungle Operations International Course have some knowledge about surviving in the wilderness. They should also have already gone through a minimum organic adaptation to this operational environment before the beginning of the Course.
It is important that the candidates have enough time, in their countries of origin, to carry out their physical, organic, intellectual, psychological, material and administrative preparation.
All teaching and administrative activities will be carried out by the instructors and by the staff members in English. Therefore, the trainees are required to be proficient in English
in order to be able to follow the routine activities under minimum learning and safety conditions.

3. SPECIFIC GUIDELINES a. Physical Preparation Having an excellent physical condition is critical to attend the Course. Initial physical
tests will be carried out in the candidate's home country, according to the instructions given by the Amazon Military Command (CMA), as in letter "b", and supervised by the Brazilian Military Attaché in the country of origin.
In order to accomplish the candidate's registration, the Physical Aptitude Test for Enrollment (EAFM) will be held in the city of Manaus - AM, by CIGS. EAFM will be similar to the initial physical test carried out in the applicant's home country, as the letter "c" . If the candidate fails the EAFM, he will not attend the Course and he must return to his country of origin.
The candidate's physical preparation should not only aim the EAFM to be held in Manaus - AM, as this is only an approval test for the candidate’s registration, stating that the military has MINIMUM conditions to attend the Jungle Operations International Course.
It is worth mentioning that during the Course, the military will undergo various activities that require resistance to intense and prolonged physical effort. Therefore, physical preparation is crucial for the completion of the Course. In some cases, such as Tactical Swimming, the lack of specific physical preparation may endanger the safety of the trainee.
The preparation for the Tactical Swimming activity should be done gradually, starting with the candidate swimming and floating in trunks. Throughout the training, the candidate should increase the time and weight anchored to the body, so that, by the end of the preparation, he is able to swim long distances (at least 02 km) and float in the full combat uniform, with his equipment and armed with his rifle, for at least 10 continuous minutes.
The candidate must also prepare for aerobic (continuous running) and neuromuscular activities, mainly lower limbs, due to the long distances that will be walked during the Course.
In order to be in good physical condition so as to be approved in EAFM and attend the Jungle Operations International Course, the candidate must follow a physical training schedule organized by a specialist, so as not to suffer injuries or present "over training" symptoms during his preparation. At the CIGS website (www.cigs.ensino.eb.br) the candidate will find a physical training plan, as well as a nutritional guide, prepared by the Brazilian Army Physical Training Research Institute (IPCFEx), which may be used as a subsidy for his /her preparation.
Throughout the Jungle Operations International Course, the Trainee will undergo intense physical effort, such as:
TASKS
Running eight (8) km in 60 '- wearing the combat uniform as well as the cap, but not wearing a shirt .
Running with the combat uniform, equipment, weapon (rifle) and backpack in during shifts between instructions.
TASKS (Tactical Swimming)
Swimming with the combat uniform, rifle, equipment and backpack.

b. Initial physical test
The Initial Physical Test will be held in the candidate's home country, carried out by its Armed Forces and supervised by the Brazilian Military Attaché in the country, according to the instructions in "c". The Initial Physical Test should follow the same scores as the ones for the Physical Aptitude Test for Enrollment (EAFM). It should also be done according to the requirements of EAFM, in order to provide the candidate with the best conditions to succeed in EAFM, which is eliminatory.
The Brazilian Military Attaché must send a list of the candidates and their results on the Inicial Physical Tests to the 5th Subchefia EME via DIEX. c. Physical Aptitude Test for Enrollment (EAFM)

1) Accomplishment Conditions The Physical Aptitude Test for Enrollment (EAFM) will be held in Manaus – AM. CIGS will be in charge of it. THE TEST IS ELIMINATORY FOR ENROLLMENT. The trainees will have two attempts to carried out the test, with an interval of at least one day between them, except for the military march, which must be carried out only once. The candidate can only have a second attempt in one of the tests. If the candidate does not reach the expected score in more than one test, even in the first attempt, he/she will automatically be deemed inapt for enrollment purposes. The trainee who does not carry out any of the EAFM tests for any reason, will not be able to enroll the Course. a) Running The candidate must run the distance specified in the EAFM index table, on flat ground, according to the segment. If there is unevenness in the path, it should be smooth and, to the possible extent, offset by a reverse slope. The performance time will be recorded by the Enforcement and Supervision Commission (CAF). It will be carried ou in combat uniform, with no cap and no shirt. For candidates from the female segment, the uniform will be the same with the addition of a black bustier (top). b) Pull-up and Hang Pull-Up Must be carried out as prescribed in items 1) and 2) of letter d, number 6, Ordinance No. 032 - EME, 31 March 2008 (GUIDELINE FOR ARMY MILITARY PHYSICAL TRAINING AND ITS EVALUATION) and as the in the Military Physical Training Campaign Manual (C 20-20).

e) Submerse swimming The test may be carried out in any aquatic environment without rapids, preferably in a tactical tank. The planned route should be performed in a single apnea, in any style, without any part of the body touching the surface. The transposed area should be demarcated by rays or strings. The corresponding marking distances for 0 (zero), five (5) and ten (10) meters must be demarcate. The markings should be exceeded by the candidate's body so as to be considered as accomplished. The military’s body may touch the pole, provided that the underwater swimming ends after doing so.
In the starting point, the candidate must not use any kind of propulsion, and must be in the standing or natural fluctuation position. The test will be carried out in combat uniform without cap, with lowered sleeves. f) Climbing the vertical Rope The Trainees must climb a vertical sisal rope, with a 1.5 (one and a half) inch diameter without initial propulsion from the base (ground or mattress). The rope must be marked out at 0 (zero), three (3) and four (4) meters high. The markings should be exceeded by both the applicant's hands in order to be considered as accomplished. The initial marking 0 (zero) should be 1.80 (one meter and eighty centimeters) above ground level, so that the candidate starts to climb with both hands beneath it. It will be carried out in combat uniform, with no cap or shirt. For candidates from the female segment, the uniform will be the same with the addition of a black bustier (top). g) 400m Tactical Swimming The test may be carried out in any aquatic environment without rapids. The candidate must swim in any style, except submerse swiming (when the military stays for longer than 5 seconds with the head under the water), starting form the standing position or natural fluctuation, with no impulsion.

Jungle Operations International Course – Guidelines to Candidates
Centro Coronel Jorge Teixeira Page | 7
h) Flotation The test may be carried out in any aquatic environment without rapids and in accordance with the index table for EAFM. The military shoul keep his/her body in vertical position (characterized by no belly, buttocks, waist, legs and feet out of the water). The military must not perform lateral displacements, or lean on any aid (floating or tactical tank edges) during the test. The head should always be outside the water. It is forbidden to plunge the face in the water. The time counting will start with the candidate in the standing up or natural flotation position. The test will be carried out in combat uniform without cap, ARMED WITH PÁRA-FAL ,with lowered sleeves and no wristwatches. IF THE CANDIDATE IS CALLED ATTENTION THREE TIMES FOR FLOTATING OUT OF THE ESTABLISHED PATTERNS (ESTABLISHED RULES), HE/SHE WILL BE INTERRUPTED DURING THE TEST AND THE OBJECTIVE WILL BE CONSIDERED AS NOT ACHIEVED.
i) March
Marching according to the conditions in the EAFM index table on a road. If there is unevenness in the path, it should be smooth and as far as possible, compensated by an opposite unevenness (in this case, it is ideal that the arrival coincides with the starting line).
It will be carried out in combat uniform with cap, armed (Pára-FAL), carrying equipment and backpack.
The equipment must have the following items: - North American belt and suspender; - 02 (two) magazine holders (Pára-FAL) with 02 (two) magazines each; - 02 (dois) canteen holders with 02 (two) canteens (full) and 01 (one) mug; and - 01 (one) machete. The water from the canteens can be consumed during the course of the march. The backpack will be weighed at the beginning and at the end of the march. IF ITS
WEIGHT IS LESS THAN THE WEIGHT EXPECTED, THE APPLICANT WILL BE CONSIDERED INAPT AT EAFM
c. Organic Preparation
Since the Jungle Operations International Course is a combat course, with specific characteristics of the jungle operating environment, in order to succeed, the candidate should be in excelent organic conditions.
The candidate must take previous health care, specially dental care, and take care of chronical diseases. A balanced diet is also a factor that should be observed by the candidate. If possible, he/she must follow a nutritionist’s diet program. By doing so, the future trainee will start the Course able to go through intense and long physical effort along with the the physical exhaustion motivated by the jungle itself. The immunization by vaccine (tetanus, yellow fever, hepatitis B) will prevent diseases. It is important that the military with chronical and joint diseases go through a specific preparation, being aware that such health problems can affect his/her performance during the Course.
d. Initial medical examination
The medical tests will be carried out in the applicant's home country, according to the protocol published by the Brazilian Army Health Board. The result of these medical examinations must be sent to CMA, by the Brazilian Military Attaché in the country, through the minutes with a list of the apt candidates. Unfit candidates in medical examinations in the country of origin should not be included on the list for the Course.

e. Health inspection for enrollment purposes (ISM) The health inspection for enrollment purposes (ISM) will be held in Manaus - AM,
under the supervision of CMA. Only the able candidates may be enrolled in Course. In order to carry out the inspection , a Special Health Inspection Board (JISE) will be chosen. This board must draw up, by the end of the ISM, the minutes of each candidate with the individual results. Theses results will be published in the CIGS Internal Bulletin (BI).
The health inspection must meet the requirements found in IGPMEx, in IRPMEx, in NTPMEx, in DECEX Rules and the Regulatory Instructions for registration, selection and enrollment at CIGS (CIGS IRISM).
At the ISM, medical examinations - with their respective reports shall be presented by the applicant, as Annex A. Only the candidates who are considered able at ISM will carry out EAFM .
f. Intellectual preparation for the Course One of the instruments that the candidate will have in order to fulfill his/her mission is the
intellectual preparation. In order to do so, here is a list of the most important issues to be discussed at the International Operations Stage in the Jungle, so that the applicant can get prepared:

Subject Syllabus
Patrol Combat Patrols and Terrain and Fluvial Recognitio g. Material Preparation
A good material preparation contributes to the success on the Course. The gear that must be provided by the trainee to complete the equipment, the backpack and the load baggage (bag with spare gear) and those that are distributed by CIGS to the trainees will be presented in this item.
When the trainee moves to the Instruction bases located in the Instruction Training area, he/she must carry his/her equipment, backpack and load baggage. Therefore, it is recommended that by the end of the mobilization week all the gear is able to be used.
The constitution of some kits must meet the particularities of each military, so each kit must contain the gear deemed necessary to accomplish the mission. The kits described in this guidance are mandatory, however its content is at the discretion of the trainee (it is not mandatory to have all the equipment in the list below). The list presented in these guidelines is merely a suggestion. The gear contained in the kits should meet the needs of the trainee during the Course.
Special attention should be paid to the practicality, portability and sealing of kits. The containers should not be too large 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 trainee’s backpack will be the only source of gear.
Regarding the trainee’s health, it is important to state that self-medication is prohibited in any situation during the Course. Thus, in case of necessity, the medical team that constantly monitor the course will perform medical care and prescribe the drugs to be used. Drugs of routine use may be carried by the trainee in his/her first-aid kit, such as: bandages, antiseptic, antifungal, and analgesic medication (provided that the trainee has a medical prescription) in order to solve minor injuries. In addition to being forbidden to use, during the course, any substance that performs energizing and organic restorative functions (reidrat, multivitamins, polyamino, food complexes, etc.), it is recommended that the candidate: - makes no use of anabolic steroids, protein compounds, drugs for weight loss or muscle toning six (6) months before starting the course; - makes no use of drugs for serious allergy problems or infectious disease six (6) months before starting the course; - makes no use of steroids, hormones, amphetamines, diuretics, beta-blockers or related drugs six (6) months before starting the course.
The trainee 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. All of the anchors must be done with canopy lines; karabiners must be made of steel or iron, the use of key chains that mimic karabiners for any purpose is forbidden. The flashlight can be sealed with lenses (red or blue) or insulating tape. The Trainee is allowed to bring the equipment (tactical vest type) and the backpack used in his/her country of origin, which may be used by order of the Course Coordinator, from the second phase of the course (special techniques phase) on. It should be noted that all materials must be olive green, black, green and black camouflage or the camouflaged colors used in his/her country of origin, noting that it is not allowed to use civilian gear. CIGS has some materials to be lend if necessary, however, it is the applicant's responsability to purchase gear required.

OTHERS a. The Jungle Warrior 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 hunt down,
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 in defending this Brazilian Amazon,
If we have to perish, oh God,
We shall do it with dignity,
And we shall deserve victory!
JUNGLE!

c. The song of the Jungle Warfare Training Center
“Storms, sloughs, swamps and thorns,
Danger lurking in a very voracious forest,
Shadows and silence on the trails and paths,
Jungle Warfare, an effective test.
The fraternal living teaches us, The value of a healthy camaraderie,
With Justice, with freedom, with esteem, Always alert with bravery and courage.
We are a leading troop,
For whom the risk does not exist, Proudly we use this uniform,
Investing with the weapons always ready.
The Amazon unconquerable is our homage, Our life for its integrity,
Our struggle by the force of law With the right of validity force.
The jungle does not belong to the strongest, But the sober, skilled and the tough
We have everything to fight even with the death, In danger our strength is present.
We are a leading troop,
For whom the risk does not exist, Proudly we use this uniform,
Investing with the weapons always ready”.
