Infantería
Uruguay's Army infantry is a professional, all-volunteer force operating in a country with no active domestic insurgency or border conflict — making peacekeeping deployments the primary operational experience for Uruguayan soldiers. Uruguay contributes personnel to UN peacekeeping missions including MONUSCO (Democratic Republic of Congo), where Uruguayan troops have operated in one of the UN's most complex and dangerous peacekeeping environments. Unlike most Latin American militaries, Uruguayan Army infantry trains primarily for peacekeeping operations and international commitments rather than domestic counter-insurgency. The contrast with Peru, Colombia, or Ecuador is significant: Uruguayan soldiers deploy abroad to find operational experience they cannot find at home.
