The 2005 Argentine Exercises Index

The second Argentine military aviation exercises index in the “Gaceta Aeronáutica Age” is actually an updated version of our original Aeromilitaria Argentina index for 2005. This more complete variant reviews more than 35 exercises, simulations and drills totalling more than 220 days of activity on the field. An apparently “international” year, 2005 is full of combined exercises where Argentine armed forces tested their combat fitness with foreign forces in “trade-mark” exercises such as Plata, Panamax, Fraterno, UNITAS and Viekaren; as well as the one-off Ceibo 2005. Homeland training was also fairly active, with services deploying throughout the nation for both internal and joint manoeuvres.

The 2010 Argentine Exercises Index

The first Argentine military aviation exercises index in the “Gaceta Aeronáutica Age” comes packed with over 70 exercises, simulations and drills totalling at least 329 days of activity on the field. In spite of ever present budgetary limitations and a couple of congressional mishaps, Argentine armed and paramilitary forces managed to complete an interesting menu of exercises throughout 2010, including named classics such as Valkyria III and Ícaro III (Air Force specific), Rio III and Tanque (Argentine/Uruguayan) as well as Gringo Gaucho/Southern Seas, UNITAS LI, Fraterno XXVIII, Panamax and Atlasur VIII (naval air cooperation manoeuvres, in a variety of flavours).
