Program Introduction

 The Ministry of Defense established a capacity building program with Timor-Leste in the field of vehicle maintenance, preventive maintenance and outdoor maintenance. This training enables the Timor-Leste Army to conduct necessary maintenance independently, and deal with problems promptly when a disaster occurs.

 In addition to technical maintenance training, to enhance administrative skills needed for maintenance, the JGSDF conducted a lecture teaching the importance of vehicle maintenance to officer level participants, who are in positions that instruct soldiers engaged in vehicle maintenance.
