1. Type of Activity to Develop
Combined Bilateral Exercise "VIEKAREN VII - 2005".
2. Origin of the Project
The first exercise of the series was carried out in 1999, responding to an Act of Agreement between the Chief of Staff of the ARGENTINA ARMADA and the Commander-in-Chief of the ARMADA of the CHILE REPUBLIC.
The last execution took place during 2004. This exercise is planned for the year 2005 during the month of September, in the maritime and terrestrial areas near the CANAL DE BEAGLE.
3. Principles of the Objectives of Activity:
The ARMADA ARGENTINA has inscribed in its mission to be a tool of the foreign policy of the Nation, and to this end it develops activities framed by international military cooperation.
The protection of the interests of the ARGENTINA REPUBLIC, in the maritime spaces that bathe their coasts or beyond them, either in concert with other nations or acting independently, requires a wide range of military capabilities.
In compliance with the current Defence policy of using the ARMED FORCES in an effective strictly deterrent strategy of the territory and its own resources, it is inserted into a secure regional framework, where participation in international missions is tended to be promoted, under the mandates of the UNITED NATIONS Organization for the maintenance of international peace and stability and democracy, it is necessary to achieve adequate professional interoperability and comprehensive international recognition.
The exercise aims to preserve, strengthen and develop the bonds of peace, mutual trust and professional exchange in accordance with the spirit of the PEACE AND AMISTED TREATY between the two countries. Training in peace-keeping operations, providing safety to navigation, safeguarding human life at sea and contributing to pollution control and the defence of the marine environment.

1. Type of Activity to Develop
Combined Sea Training Exercise "UNITAS ANFIBIO-2006".
2. Origin of the Project
The UNITAS exercise, started in 1960, originally between the ARMADA of the United States of AMERICA and the Armed Forces of all countries of South America, bilaterally with each, with the purpose of providing the participants with the opportunity to conduct combined naval operations, to increase the operational capacities of their naval, air and marine infantry forces, to perfect the enlistment of the material and human resources involved, and to promote mutual trust, understanding and understanding.
The amphibian phase of this exercise was framed within the UNITAS operation, and since 1993, it was unfolded due to the advanced degree of technology and specialization in techniques and tactics, the amphibian activity being the most complex of naval operations in general.
During 2003 it was suspended because the ARMADA of the United States of AMERICA had all its amphibian means attached to higher priority tasks.
During 2004, the exercise was completed in a single phase across the American continent in the PERU REPUBLIC.
3. Principles of the Objectives of Activity:
The implementation of the UNITAS ANFIBIO Combined Exercise helps to increase the level of interoperability with the armed forces of the participating countries.
This is achieved through the exchange of information on the command and control systems of the naval means of surface, air and infantry of participating marines, of doctrines and procedures and of the combined training. The special feature of the media used by the ARMADA of the United States of AMERICA is its advanced technology, which allows us to appreciate and evaluate new technical capacities, as well as to increase the level of training and interoperability.
It is important to mention that ARMADA ARGENTINA does not have the specific means to perform this type of exercise, so it depends on those of other Armed Forces in order to maintain the training of its staff. This type of exercise puts in place numerous component activities involving many units, means and men.

5. Framework
The guiding concept of this exercise is based on the implementation of a hypothetical international mission mandated by the United Nations Organization for Foreign Affairs, characterized by the ongoing handling of crises and pawning rules, during which troop disembarkation practices are carried out through the use of amphibian vehicles and helicopters in a simulated environment of multiple threats from the sea, without affecting the environment in terms of environment or maritime activities.
The presence of a considerable number of naval means with their shipped organic helicopters and ground-based aircraft and Marine Corps, constitutes a worldwide exercise of importance, enabling the commanders themselves to acquire the experience in the exercise of command at sea of great amphibian forces.
In this context, tactics, doctrine and operational procedures for the use of naval forces are developed and improved and operations are coordinated at sea.

2. Origin of the Project
This exercise is part of the agreement signed with the Government of the SOUTH AFRICA REPUBLIC on "Cooperation in Time of Peace among its respective Armed Forces", which was approved by Law No. 25.142.
The exercise began between our country and the SUDAFRICA REPUBLIC in 1993, bilaterally and frequently biennially, alternating the host country. From its second edition, in 1995, units of the BRAZILIAN MARINE and the URUGUAYA ARMADA and naval observers of the ARMADA PARAGUAYA participated at the invitation. From the third edition the first two were incorporated as organizers of the aforementioned exercise.
In 2002 it was held at the SOUTH AFRICA REPUBLIC. At the request of his Navy, the exercise was postponed until 2006, pending the incorporation of new means.
3. Principles of the Objectives of Activity:
The implementation of the Combined Exercise ATLASUR, contributes mainly to optimizing the degree of interoperability among the participating Armed Forces, through the exchange of information on the command and control systems of the naval means of surface, submarines and aerials participating in doctrines and procedures and the combined training.
By carrying out these types of exercises, framed in international military cooperation, we help to strengthen mutual trust and integration with the friendly Armed Forces that share interests in the SUR ATLANTICO OCEANO.

During navigation in the Uruguayan territorial sea, strict compliance will be made with the guidelines of that convention so that the ships themselves will not be able to launch aircraft and there will be no disembarkation of troops.
(e) Immunity: No specific immunities have been required for National Forces leaving the country.
(f) Costs: The operating costs of our means amount to the sum of CINCUENTAL AND THREE MIL TRESCIENTATIVES AND DOS ($ 953.352).

5. Framework
The guiding concept of this exercise is based on the implementation of a hypothetical international mission mandated by the United Nations Organization for Foreign Affairs, characterized by ongoing crisis management and pawning rules during the transfer of a multinational naval force, under multiple threats, to a simulated area of operations.
In this context, tactics, doctrine and operational procedures for the use of naval forces are developed and improved and operations at sea are coordinated by involving a considerable number of ships of different types and aircraft based on land and on board.
The various types of exercises to be carried out, allow the commanders and crews of the participating units to be trained in the conduct and execution of defensive naval operations against air, surface and submarine threats and in procedures for re-provisioning at sea, communications and electronic warfare.
