Brazilian Imperial Marine Corps
From Daily Escape
The Brazilian Imperial Marine Corps (Portuguese: Corpo Marinho Imperial Brasileiro, or CMIB) is a naval amphibious force responsible for providing power projection from the sea utilizing the mobility of the Navy to rapidly deliver combined-arms task forces. The CMIB has the unique ability to rapidly deploy a combined-arms task force to almost anywhere in the world within days. The basic structure for all deployed units is a marine air-ground task force that integrates a ground combat component, an air component, and a logistics combat component under a common command element. Marines operate under principles of self-sufficiency, stealth, speed, and close teamwork, and are internationally considered to be among the best in the world. The CMIB's ability to rapidly respond to regional crises has made it, and continues to make it, an important body in the implementation and execution of Brazilian foreign policy. There are a total of 139,000 personnel in the CMIB (114,000 active and 25,000 reserve). General Luís Alencar is the commander of the CMIB.
