The Training Institute Royal Brunei Armed Forces (TI RBAF), Malay: Institut Latihan Angkatan Tentera Diraja Brunei (IL ATDB or IL ABDB)[5][6] is a military training establishment of the Royal Brunei Armed Forces (RBAF / ABDB), primarily for enlisted male and female recruit training,[7][8] along with technical and junior leadership courses for non-commissioned officers (NCOs). It is currently located within Penanjong Garrison, Tutong TA2741,[9] approximately 50 kilometres (30 miles) from Bandar Seri Begawan in the sultanate of Brunei Darussalam.[10] Approximately one-hundred courses are available per year.[11]

History

The forerunner to the Training Institute Royal Brunei Armed Forces was officially established at Berakas Camp on 7 April 1969; 55 years ago (1969-04-07), known as the Cadre Company. In 1973, it was renamed the Training Wing Depot, coinciding with a move to Bolkiah Camp.[12] Its purpose was to oversee all courses and training for personnel in the Royal Brunei Armed Forces (RBAF / ABDB), including Basic Recruit Training for new enlistees, along with additional skill enhancement for existing personnel. The institute's authority extends to training soldiers at various levels.[13] It was again renamed to Training Centre in 1975. In 1981, the first Women's Company was established, and training for females started.[12] It was relocated for a third time in May 1986, to Penanjong Garrison in the Tutong District; its initial headquarters was within the Directorate of Land Training, and renamed the Training Centre Royal Brunei Armed Forces.[12] Lieutenant Colonel Brahim became its inaugural commanding officer (CO), and during his time in charge, moved to a new headquarters building in 1988.[13]

During its initial twenty-two years (1969 to 1991), the institute fell under the administration of the Regimental Headquarters, and later the Armed Forces Headquarters. On 17 September 1991,[12] a royal decree by the Sultan and Defence Minister led to the restructuring of the Royal Brunei Armed Forces (RBAF) (Malay: Angkatan Bersenjata Diraja Brunei, ABDB) into five main units, including the Training Centre RBAF. This allowed direct communication with the Commander of the Royal Brunei Armed Forces. Consequently, the position of CO was changed to the Commander, and the role of Deputy Commander was established. The first Commander was Lieutenant Colonel Ramli, and the first Deputy Commander was Major Johari.[13] Another rename occurred in 2005, it was officially named Training Institute Royal Brunei Armed Forces.[12] The TI RBAF Parade Square is the site of the passing out parade ceremony.[14][15]

Organisation

In its inaugural year in 1969, the original incarnation of the future TI RBAF had limited courses and facilities. Over the subsequent thirty-four years, it evolved significantly; notably professionally qualified instructors, along with advanced teaching aids. The institute currently comprises eight key sub-units, offering a diverse range of courses to RBAF personnel of all service branches. Approximately one-hundred courses conducted annually;[11] including multiple intakes of basic recruit military training,[9][15] which until recently had a duration of six months (twenty-four weeks training) for male recruits[9] and three months (twelve weeks) for females.[5] Basic recruit training covers Physical Training,[15] Drill Training, Weapon Training,[15] Method of Instruction courses, and academic courses through the School of Studies. The academic programmes include courses for Boy's Company up to 'O' Level (high-school examination level), technical training for military technicians and mechanics, Basic Malay courses for Loan Service Personnel, and English language courses for native RBAF personnel, including non-commissioned officers (NCOs).[13]

In 1990, the TI RBAF introduced the Officers' Development Wing, tasked with the comprehensive development of officers in the Royal Brunei Armed Forces. This includes preparation for advanced courses, and conducting promotion examinations (PROMEX) involving both theoretical and practical elements. Collaborating with the Directorate of Training, the department also organises international-level seminars for officers (Majors) before they pursue the Staff College course. Renowned lecturers from institutions such as the University of Brunei Darussalam, ASEAN, and Europe have been invited to contribute to the success of these seminars.[13]

Essential characteristics, such as courage, piety, loyalty, and professionalism, that the Ministry of Defence (MinDef) has established via the RBAF. Starting with the 170th male intake course in 2023, the basic military training course was reduced to fourteen weeks duration, compared to its previous twenty-four week duration,[9] (however, the earlier 158th entry had taken thirty-one weeks[16]) under the RBAF's strategic plan to be more balanced and specialised, whilst maintaining standards and intended results.[14] These adjustments mean that up to 960 recruits can now be trained each year.[14] Passing out parades are occasionally reviewed by senior officers from the militaries of other countries, in addition to local commanders and family members of the graduating recruits.[5][16]

In April 2024, during the passing out parade of the 173rd male intake course, Brigadier General Haji Mohammad Shanonnizam bin Sulaiman, Commander of the Royal Brunei Land Force (RBLF / TDDB) reaffirmed the aims and importance of the TI RBAF, including emphasising "the development of spiritual, physical and intellectual strength throughout one’s service".[17] Brg. Gen. Shanonnizam continued by stating:

This is the foundation that will strengthen the organisation as a whole and will allow it to function as the first line of defence in upholding the dignity of the religion, the sovereignty of the nation and the monarch

— Brg. Gen Hj Mohammad Shanonnizam bin Sulaiman, [17]
