REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE, Friday, 02 October 2026 – The Royal Brunei Air Force (RBAirF) has achieved a significant milestone in its human capacity development—particularly within its Airmen cadre—with the successful graduation of its first participant from the Squadron Command Chief Programme (SCCP). Staff Sergeant (U) Joeh bin Lubat, the Squadron Sergeant Major (SSM) of 81 Squadron, No. 8 Wing, Training Group, completed the intensive two-week curriculum, which was conducted at the Air Force Training Command (AFTC), Paya Lebar, Republic of Singapore, from 21 September to 02 October 2026.
Designed to enhance command-level competencies, the programme provided deep exposure to squadron leadership and human resource management, placing profound emphasis on maintaining strict military discipline, elevating personnel welfare, and sustaining peak operational and training readiness.
Beyond individual professional advancement, this participation marks a strategic step forward in refining the leadership framework of RBAirF SSMs. By equipping key Senior Non-Commissioned Officers (SNCOs) with advanced managerial skills, the initiative directly reinforces the RBAirF’s grassroots leadership, ensures optimal support for ground personnel, and ultimately sharpens the overall operational effectiveness of the force. Furthermore, this milestone underscores the enduring defense ties and seamless bilateral training cooperation between the RBAirF and the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF), driving collective excellence in regional mission readiness.
