Belgium plans to send a military detachment to support the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) by improving the capabilities of its rapid reaction brigade, the Belgian Ministry of Defence (MoD) announced on its website on 15 February.

The DRC made a request in October 2021 for Belgian military support in the areas of land navigation, tactical combat casualty care, and counter-improvised explosive device techniques. Belgium will send 25 members of its Special Operations Regiment to Lwama in Kindu in the spring to train the DRC‘s 31st Rapid Reaction Brigade.

During the first four weeks, the Belgians will train Congolese trainers, followed by eight weeks during which experts from both countries will exchange experiences. The Belgians will also provide intensive coaching to the Congolese with the objective of 31st Brigade trainers being able to provide basic training anywhere in the DRC.
