In the first days of deployment, the engineering units began repairing muddy roads caused by the weather, and at the same time, established a plan to support the Mission's infrastructure. The medical team also quickly set up a medical station, ready to take care of the health of officers and staff in the unit, and at the same time prepared a plan to coordinate medical treatment for local people when necessary.
