From June 27th to July 13th, the JMOD/JSDF invited four personnel from the Engineer Battalion of the Papua New Guinea Defence Force (PNGDF) to Japan and provided training on the basic maintenance of heavy engineering equipment at the JGSDF Engineer School.

This invitational activity aims to provide knowledge and hands-on experience to improve the maintenance capabilities of the PNGDF Engineer Battalion.

The unit engages in infrastructure maintenance and relief activities in times of natural disaster in Papua New Guinea.

This year, we conducted lectures focused on the structural functions of hydraulic excavators and practiced preventive maintenance, troubleshooting, slinging and welding.

This project helps to build the PNGDF’s HA/DR capabilities and contributes to the relationship between JPN-PNG.
