WHAT KIND OF MISSION IS THAT? THE BRAZILIAN ARMED FORCES' PERFORMANCE IN NON-TRADITIONAL OPERATIONS.

Since the end of the Cold War, there has been an increase in the armed forces' participation in non-war operations, including humanitarian emergencies, environmental disasters, and the assurance of public order.

To this end, three operations were selected: Operation Acolhida, Operation Verde Brasil and Operation COVID-19.
