To ensure the success of this first-of-its-kind operation, nine technical teams have been deployed, each consisting of 10 members. A total of 27 vehicles have been provided, including 18 four-wheel-drive vehicles and nine light trucks. These teams include various specialties, such as electricians, technicians, and work agents, in addition to district heads and team leaders.
