EUMAM MOZ welcomes Chief of Operations of the Finnish Army

The purpose of the visit was to gain a first-hand overview of the current situation of the Mission, with particular emphasis on the conditions under which EUMAM MOZ operates, the main operational and structural challenges it faces, and the ongoing regeneration program of the Quick Reaction Forces (QRFs) of the Mozambican Defence Armed Forces (FADM).

During the visit, the delegation had the opportunity to meet with the EUMAM MOZ Mission Force Commander, Commodore César Pires Correia, receive a briefing on the mission, and gain closer insight into the activities carried out in the fields of mentoring and military assistance. The visit to the Katembe Training Camp also provided an opportunity to observe the, currently ongoing, assisted training standards of the 3rd QRFs of Navy Marines.
