RIMBA, Thursday, 24 August 2023 - The Land Force Officer Cadets (OCdts) of Intake 22 completed their Eagle Strike Exercise at the Royal Brunei Air Force Base, Rimba under the guidance of 31 Squadron, No. 3 Wing, Royal Brunei Air Force. The 3-day long exercise introduced OCdts to the 2 methods the Parachute Airborne Tactical Delivery Unit (PATDU) utilises in their operations; Abseiling Resupply System and Jungle Line Resupply.
During their initial visit to the 31 Squadron, the OCdts were briefed on the aims and purposes of the two delivery systems and were then shown the safety procedures in handling heavy loads. The days that followed slowly allowed the OCdts to get a hands-on approach to how the delivery systems work.
On the last day of Exercise Eagle Strike, the Land Force OCdts applied their newly attained skills with the S70i Black-Hawk to test their understanding of the lessons taught throughout the week. This exposed them to the procedure that they will utilise in their future careers as Royal Brunei Land Force officers.
