Taji Vocational Institute Generator Training
TAJI, Iraq – The Taji Vocational Institute, the educational arm of the Taji National Maintenance Depot, recently graduated twenty soldiers from several different Location Commands in a Generator Course May 5.
The course is designed to introduce the soldiers to the fundamentals and principles of Power Generation Equipment. The course is comprised of thirty days of both classroom and in-shop practical application of generator equipment. The course included diverse topics as inspection principles, diesel engine and power generation principles, power generation circuitry, electrical, cooling, and fueling and lubrication systems and load bank diagnostics. “The students were very eager to learn the complicated art of diagnosing and repairing power generation equipment and I think they will be better mechanics when they return to their units,” said Josh Banks Taji Vocational Institute Instructor, Multi-National Security Transition Command - Iraq.
These graduates are now on their way back to their individual units where they will be able to perform their critically needed skills in power generation and generator maintenance in support of the Iraqi Army mission of self sufficiency.
