Royal Brunei Armed Forces Day in Brunei is celebrated annually on May 31st. This day marks the official formation of the Royal Brunei Armed Forces (RBAF) in 1961. The RBAF plays a crucial role in protecting the sovereignty and interests of Brunei Darussalam.
The origins of the RBAF can be traced back to the establishment of the Brunei Malay Regiment, which later became fully constituted as the Royal Brunei Armed Forces. Over time, it has evolved and modernized to become a well-equipped military force.
On this day, various activities are organized to honor and celebrate the contributions of the armed forces:
Military Parades: The main highlight is often a grand military parade involving various units of the RBAF, showcasing their discipline and readiness.
Monarch's Address: His Majesty Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, who is also the Supreme Commander of RBAF, usually delivers an address and may bestow honors on distinguished service members.
Ceremonial Events: There are wreath-laying ceremonies at war memorials or monuments dedicated to fallen soldiers.
Open Days: Military bases may host open days where civilians can visit and observe military equipment displays and demonstrations.
On Royal Brunei Armed Forces Day:
