In a social media post on Friday, the GDF said that Captain Diego Roz Marcilio, First Sergeants Itamar Krause and Rodrigo Lopes De Almeida are the departing personnel.
Some 800 ranks have benefited from their tutelage in general jungle warfare training conducted at CRMJATS.
The instructors were also critical to the success of the Jungle Operations phase of Exercise Tradewinds which was held in Guyana in July 2023.
While on their stint here, the Brazilian team was also dynamic in instructing Portuguese at the Brazilian Institute.
The GDF said the officer and ranks “are appreciative for the service of the Brazilians which is made possible through bilateral relations between the two Forces. As part of that arrangement, Brazilian teams are rotated on a yearly basis.”
