The closing ceremony was held at the FADM Military Driving School in Maputo, where the crucial role of training in strengthening logistical capabilities within increasingly demanding operational contexts was emphasised. The programme aimed to equip military personnel with key skills to ensure the effective movement, sustainment, and resupply of military forces — all vital components for the success of missions on the ground.
