The Republic of Fiji Military Forces in collaboration with international training partners, recently completed an intensive six-week pre-deployment training at the RFMF Joint Task Force Command at Blackrock Camp in Nadi.

The training was aimed at preparing troops for their upcoming mission with the Multinational Force and Observers in Sinai, Egypt, a tradition that began with the first deployment of Fiji Batt 1 in 1982.

During the six weeks of training, the troops participated in rigorous exercises designed to enhance their operational readiness, focusing on peacekeeping protocols, operational tactics, and crisis response, all essential components of their mission in the Sinai Peninsula.

For the first time, the MFO Force Train team arrived at Blackrock to provide instruction to the Fijian troops. Their guidance was crucial in familiarizing the soldiers with Sinai’s specific operational environment and mission objectives.
