Rio military deployment stirs controversy in Brazil
Officials have so far provided little detail about what has been achieved while residents complain about harassment and intimidation.
The general in charge of the operation said Rio was a "test case" for military deployments in other parts of Brazil.
The move came after a surge of violence in the state during Rio's carnival.
President Temer issued a decree on 16 February putting the military in charge of security in Rio de Janeiro arguing that he was "taking this extreme measure because the circumstances demand it".
