U.S. Defense Secretary Leon PanettaThe United States supports Brazil as a global leader and seeks closer defense cooperation, said U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta.  The benefits of a closer relationship became very apparent in the aftermath of the January 2010 earthquake in Haiti, when thousands of U.S. and Brazilian military personnel worked side by side to provide emergency relief to the Haitian people.  It was the largest U.S.-Brazilian military operation since World War II.
Since that time, U.S.-Brazil military cooperation has continued to grow.  The two militaries have expanded joint training and exercises, and the U.S. military has received more requests to participate in Brazilian-hosted military exercises and attend Brazilian military schools.
But there are many other ways the U.S. and Brazil can expand their defense partnership to advance peace and security in the 21st century.  For example, as Defense Secretary Panetta said during his visit, “I would like to find a way for our defense institutions to improve cooperation on research through exchange programs between our scientific establishments and joint research projects.”
