As part of strengthening joint-service synergies and interoperability between the different support services, the trainees of the 7th Application Course of the Military School of Application of Technical Trades of the Quartermaster Corps (EMAMTI) carried out, on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, a study and sharing visit to the national gendarmerie, in the Samba Diéry Diallo district of Colobane.

Placed under the banner of functional cooperation and the sharing of experiences, this activity highlighted the crucial role of military administration specialists, essential players in supporting and ensuring the effectiveness of operations.

The delegation received a presentation on operational conduct, in particular on the criteria for a good operational maneuver and on the mastery of the administrative maneuver that supports it.

Beyond discovering the missions and organization of the national gendarmerie, this meeting provided a real framework for reflection on the current challenges of military administration.

Several major themes were addressed: the digitalization of administrative procedures, which improves the responsiveness of services; the simplification of processes, which optimizes local support; as well as the adaptation of support structures to crisis situations or operational projection.

This visit also fostered mutual enrichment through the numerous exchanges of experiences between participants, thereby strengthening the ties of cooperation between the components of the defense and security forces.

The day ended in an atmosphere of conviviality and camaraderie, reflecting the shared desire to strengthen professional relationships and continue this dynamic of collaboration.
