This is a critical area for operational safety and for the consolidation of standardised technical procedures.<\/p>\n<p>The meeting also allowed the finalisation of preparations for the launch of the Theoretical Basic Ammunition Course (TBAC), which will constitute the first structured step of this specialised training programme.<\/p>\n<p>Within the framework of this cooperation, the Austrian Armed Forces are providing a \u201cTrain-the-Trainers\u201d programme with a minimum duration of three years, focusing on small arms and light weapons as well as conventional ammunition.<\/p>\n<p>The objective is clear: to develop qualified trainers within the FADM, ensuring that, in the medium term, training in this field can be conducted autonomously, sustainably, and in line with international best practices.<\/p>\n<p>EUMAM MOZ is a non-executive mission with a mandate until June 2026. It focuses on the operational training cycle and sustainment, while also delivering specialised training to enable the FADM to become self-sufficient in countering the insurgency in Cabo Delgado. The Mission brings together military personnel from 12 contributing nations, including one from Austria.<\/p>\n<p><b>Source:<\/b> European Union Military Assistance Mission in Mozambique (EUMAM MOZ) \/ Press Release<\/p>\n<p class=\"ap-article-footer-note\">Find more news and analyses on <span class=\"ap-highlight-country\">Mozambique<\/span> on the <span class=\"ap-highlight-brand\">Africa Press<\/span> website<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mozambique.
