Berakas, Wednesday, 30th October 2019– A contingent of 54 personnel made up of Instructors, Physical Training Instructors and Land Force Officer Cadets from the Officer Cadet School (OCS) departed for the Republic of Singapore this morning. The contingent was led by the Intake Commander of OCS, Major Khairul Faizin Bin Hj Gapar. This marks the beginning of a bilateral exercise between OCS and the SAFTI (Singapore Armed Forces Training Institute) Military Institute that will extend from the 30th of October until the 15th of November. During this period of time the Land Force Officer Cadets of OCS will undergo a training exchange and will take on the challenge and experience Fighting in Built Up Areas (FIBUA) in the Republic of Singapore.It is hoped that during this exchange; the Land Force Officer Cadets of OCS will make full use and utilise the knowledge and lessons bestowed upon them during the exercise and thus, bring them a step closer into being a competent military leader with a wide array of skills in the different types of warfare and planning. Moreover, this bilateral exercise between OCS and SAFTI Military Institute will not only enhance the ties between these two institutions but will also foster good defence relations between Brunei Darussalam and the Republic of Singapore.
