"We are training an initial battalion," Garvelink added, "and hopefully that's a platform from which additional training of Congolese troops can be done by very well trained Congolese troops. So we hope that the training will continue and expand under the direction and leadership of the Congolese military itself."
If I well remember, the pretorian guard from Kabila and his first circle were "well trained" and almost disciplined. (more or less)
They were the ones sent in a first time to Dungu and the relation with the population were not that bad.
The main point at that time was the fact that they got payed regularly (as you know, Tom and Stan, the main problem) and not too badly. Which will be the remaining issue over time anyways.

But yes, 1 bataillion on the what? 20 of the FARDC + the integrated not too mixed former NCDP... Does not make much.
