About: Operation Penada

Property	Value
dbo:abstract	Operation Penada was the name of a Portuguese military operation that occurred during the Portuguese Colonial War in Mozambique, in April 1972. The Portuguese 31st Battalion of Hunters took part in the operation, the battalion had been stationed in Furancungo. The inability of Portuguese forces to control the entry of FRELIMO guerrillas into the surrounding territory of the Cahora Bassa dam, who came via Zambia or Rhodesia, led to increasing pressure on the Portuguese from the Rhodesian Security Forces, who criticised the apathy and lack of information about the enemy's movement. The 31st Parachute Hunters Battalion was launched along the borders of those two countries to counter the incursions by guerrillas. The battalion was supported by air support by helicopters. Elements of the Rhodesian Security Forces penetrated Mozambique, pursuing guerrillas, while full units were involved in military operations with Portuguese forces, notably by helicopter detachments stationed at Chicoa and Pisteiros.
