PENANJONG GARRISON, Friday, 24 July 2026 – Officer Cadets (OCdts) of Intake 25 from the Officer Cadet School (OCS), Defence Academy Royal Brunei Armed Forces (DA RBAF), completed Exercise Ground Control at the Fighting in Built-Up Areas (FIBUA) Village, Penanjong Garrison.
The exercise was designed to develop the OCdts’ proficiency in conducting Ground Control and Stability Operations within an urban environment through realistic operational scenarios involving simulated civilian interaction and emerging security threats. Throughout the exercise, the OCdts’ leadership, command and control, and tactical decision-making were continuously assessed in a dynamic and challenging operational environment.
Before the exercise, the OCdts underwent both theoretical and practical training delivered by the Engineer Regiment, Royal Brunei Land Forces (RBLF), covering urban operations and the Law of Armed Conflict (LOAC). OCS instructors also conducted mission rehearsals to ensure the OCdts were proficient in the required drills, tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs).
During the exercise, the OCdts conducted a range of Stability Operations, including Key Point Guard (KPG), Vehicle Check Points (VCP), patrols, Quick Reaction Force (QRF) operations, crowd control, anti-riot operations, cordon and search, Key Leader Engagements (KLE), and building clearance drills. The exercise also enhanced their ability to engage professionally with members of the public and the media while operating in complex urban environments.
In addition, the OCdts were introduced to the capabilities and operational role of the Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC). They gained an understanding of its purpose, embarkation and disembarkation procedures, and safety considerations. The OCdts also experienced travelling in the APC during a road movement, providing valuable exposure to mechanised operations.
The successful completion of Exercise Ground Control marks another significant milestone in the professional development of Intake 25 Officer Cadets. The exercise further enhanced their operational readiness, leadership competencies, and ability to operate effectively in complex environments, reflecting the OCS commitment to producing capable, disciplined, and mission-ready officers for commissioning into the RBAF.
