The participants developed both practical and theoretical skills in the technical field of automotive maintenance, with special support of three French military personnel from the FAZSOI, who deliver the training sharing their expertise.

This training initiative enables the FADM participants to reinforce their autonomy and self-sufficiency in maintaining operational equipment - a key element in ensuring the readiness and sustainability of the Mozambican Armed Forces.
