Living in Brunei
Training in Brunei focuses on mastering infantry skills ranging from basic fieldcraft to more advanced jungle survival techniques.
The jungle brings a host of new challenges for troops to overcome. Navigating is a huge challenge. In the jungle, you can barely see 20 metres ahead, and it can take 20 minutes to go just 100 metres as you hack your way through the undergrowth.
Troops live in the jungle during training, in heat that can exceeded 35 degrees, learning vital survival skills and using the environment to their advantage – training that makes the British Army such an effective, adaptable fighting force.
