Puma Helicopters: Decommissioning

Asked by James CartlidgeConservativeMinistry of DefenceTabled Answered 7 May 2025UIN 48486

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 28 April 2025 to Question 44502 on Puma Helicopters: Decommissioning, which non-SF units have undertaken jungle training in Brunei since 5 July 2024.

Answered by Luke Pollard

The Jungle Warfare Division delivers two Jungle Warfare Instructors Courses per year and two Operational Tracking Instructor Courses per year in Brunei for military training. Since 5 July 2024, the Jungle Warfare Division has delivered four courses.

Alongside units training in Brunei, the Jungle Training Courses delivered by the Jungle Warfare Division often involve cohorts of service personnel drawn from multiple units across Defence, sometimes in small numbers. It is therefore not possible to list all the units represented as this information isn’t held centrally.
