Exercise Long Tide (Veleazan: Ejercicio Marea Larga) is a biennial joint Velacruzean-Zamoran military exercise. Long Tide involves joint exercises performed by the Velacruz Armed Forces and the Zamoran Armed Forces across six locations in southern and central New Velacruz, the Columbian Sea, and in Samanique, Mora, and Tehauntepec, though the bulk of the exercises are concentrated at the Fiorentine Bay Military Training Area and other locations in northern and eastern New-Velacruz and it's territorial sea and exclusive economic zone.

To reflect its bilateral nature, leadership of the exercise switches between New Velacruz and Zamoros every 2 years. The exercise focuses on crisis-action planning and contingency response, enhancing both nations’ military capabilities to deal with regional contingencies and Columbian Piracy.
