Ditto to everything Crispy said.
But will add: You have to support the mission but you also have to make sure your training element, you guys, is/are supported.
You can get a light vehicle bridge built for a 50 pound sack of rice in some parts of the world but it takes forever for the locals to cut down a hard wood tree with hand hatchets. By day three the 18Cs were wishing for a chain saw.
Look at where you will be based. Fixed site or in the bush? Power? Reliable? Black out periods? Need to bring your own? How much will you need? 5 kw or 10 kw?
So you need to be able to set up house and then train the locals.
