The European Union Training Mission in Mozambique (EUMAM MOZ) received a visit on Wednesday, August 20, from a delegation of the United States military. According to a statement, during the meeting the parties assessed the progress of the Mozambican Armed Defense Forces (FADM).
The document stated that the US delegation was composed of the US Defense Attaché in Mozambique, Lieutenant Colonel Louis Cascino, and the Chief of the Security Cooperation Office at the US Embassy in Mozambique, Lieutenant Commander Celesse Hidrovo-Guidry. They were received by the EUMAM MOZ Mission Force Commander, Brigadier General Luís Barroso.
The note explained that the “meeting reflects the good relations and collaboration between the institutions, which are committed to working for the progress of Mozambique and its population,” stressing that “the US military had the opportunity to learn about the activities EUMAM MOZ has developed with the FADM in recent months.”
Recently, the European Union Training Mission in Mozambique announced the completion of the Maintenance Program, aimed at strengthening the technical and organizational capacities of the Mozambican Armed Defense Forces in the areas of maintenance and operational support. Seventeen Mozambican officers participated in and successfully completed this specialized training.
The training took place at the FADM Military Driving School, where participants acquired essential knowledge for the establishment and management of maintenance support units—structures critical to ensuring readiness, sustainability, and operational autonomy of the national armed forces.
EUMAM MOZ is a non-executive mission with a mandate until June 2026. It focuses on operational and maintenance training cycles, also providing specialized training to the FADM in order to prepare them to be self-sufficient in combating the insurgency that has afflicted several districts of Cabo Delgado province since 2017.
