EUMAM MOZ, Austrian Armed Forces and FADM successfully conclude Ammunition Course

The closing ceremony was led by EUMAM MOZ Mission Force Commander, Commodore César Pires Correia, and attended by senior representatives of the FADM.

This specialised training was conducted by three instructors from the Austrian Armed Forces Logistics School and aimed to develop essential technical skills in a critical area for the safety and operational effectiveness of the FADM, namely the handling, storage and management of ammunition.

Over the past two weeks, FADM military personnel who successfully completed the Basic Theoretical Ammunition Course, held in March this year, consolidated their knowledge through practical and operational training.

This course is part of a sustained capacity-building approach designed to equip the FADM with fundamental technical and practical knowledge, strengthening their ability to respond to current and future security challenges.

The delivery of this course by the Austrian MATT is a further example of the partnership between the European Union and Mozambique in promoting peace, security and the development of the capabilities of the FADM.

It is worth recalling that, in August 2024, Austria financed the construction of an Ammunition Depot at the Katembe Training Camp, ensuring appropriate conditions for the storage and handling of explosive and hazardous materials.

EUMAM MOZ is a non-executive mission, with a mandate until December 2026, focused on the operational training and maintenance cycle, providing advising, mentoring and specialised training to enable the FADM to become self-sustainable in responding to the insurgency in Cabo Delgado. This EU Mission brings together more than 80 military and civilian personnel from 12 contributing nations, including one military member from Austria.
