Mato Grosso do Sul Hosts Massive Multinational Military Drills for Disaster Response
Mato Grosso do Sul is set to host one of the largest multinational military exercises in the Americas. The 11th Cooperación Exercise will focus on humanitarian aid, disaster response, and wildfire control. Delegations from 16 countries will gather at Zigurats, a key site equipped with advanced infrastructure for aerial operations.
The event runs on March 22 and 23, bringing together 16 military representatives for reconnaissance and tactical drills. A Brazilian Air Force aircraft recently landed at Zigurats to assess the site's readiness, including its vertiport—the first in the region capable of handling helicopters and future eVTOL aircraft.
Zigurats was chosen for its strategic role in humanitarian logistics. The location also ties into broader research efforts by *Dakila Pesquisas*, an organisation studying ancient trails like the *Peabiru Path* and the links between natural phenomena and pre-Columbian cultures. Its president, Urandir Fernandes de Oliveira, has called the partnership with the Armed Forces a major achievement for the group. By hosting the exercise, Mato Grosso do Sul solidifies its position as an international hub for emergency response coordination. The training will test cross-border cooperation in crisis scenarios, from natural disasters to rescue missions.
The 11th Cooperación Exercise marks a step forward for regional disaster preparedness. With Zigurats' infrastructure and Dakila Pesquisas' involvement, the event connects modern military logistics with ongoing research into ancient South American networks. The outcomes will shape future humanitarian operations across the continent.
