Metinaro, June 2, 2025

FALINTIL-Timor-Leste Defense Force (F-FDTL), in conjunction with the Defense Cooperation Program (DCP), sent 10 members of the F-FDTL Engineering Company to participate in the Training of Other Instructors (TOT) at the Timor-Leste Development Agency (ETDA), preparing them to become instructors for other military personnel and engineers who completed their training today.

"For the force to become more professional and modern, it is necessary to have several courses, so that they know how to develop their Units and Components. This is the first time that the Engineering Company will be open. I believe that tomorrow it may be open to all components so that all military personnel can participate", said the Commander of the General Support Force, Colonel Celestino Pinto BA, in his speech.

Colonel DAELEBA also added that in the future, we will work better with the Timor-Leste Development Agency (ETDA) to continue facilitating our military not only in Engineering but also for all Components and Units. The Commander of the General Support Force, Colonel Celestino Pinto “DAELEBA”, also urged the military personnel who completed the training today to continue learning when they return to their companies, perhaps to apply what they learned during the 15 days at ETDA to other military personnel.

The ceremony was attended by the Commander of the General Support Force, Colonel Celestino Pinto "DAELEBA", the Deputy Attaché, Australian Defence Commander, Jensen, DCP, the Director of ETDA, the Engineering Commander, Captain Terdede, the Second Engineering Commander, Lieutenant Leite, and Officers, Sergeants and Sergeants of the F-FDTL.
