HANOI, Friday, 21 September 2023 – The Closing Ceremony of the ASEAN Defence Minister’s Meeting Plus (ADMM-Plus) Experts’ Working Group on Peacekeeping Operations (EWG PKO) Field Exercise was held at the National Military Training Center No.4, Hanoi, Republic Socialist of Vietnam. A total of five personnel from the Royal Brunei Land Force (RBLF) were involved in the field exercise which took place from 6 September 2023 until 24 September 2023.
The field exercise is now known as the ADMM Plus EWG-PKO Competency Evaluation Program for Prospective UN Peacekeepers (CEPPP). The CEPPP is a combined exercise program with the focus on United Nations Military Observer (UNMO) undertaking their tasks in coordination with an Engineer Platoon and a Medical Team at the tactical level to support the mandated tasks in a UN peacekeeping mission setting.
The overall aim of the CEPPP is to enhance partnership and collaboration among Member States’ participants when undertaking UN peacekeeping operations at the tactical level while enhancing the abilities and coordination among Member States’ personnel when fulfilling the role of UN Military Observers (UNMOs) in intricate and integrated multidimensional UN missions. It is also to enhance the enabling capabilities, such as engineering operations and on-the-ground medical care coordination with UNMOs, to aid in fulfilling tasks mandated by the UN Security Council within a standard UN peacekeeping mission as well as to identify essential training gaps to enhance the training before deployment and capacity-building initiatives for Member States.
The program encompasses instructors from participating countries provided general theoretical knowledge on UN peacekeeping operations and guided the three elements of military observers, engineers, and medical personnel with essential skills, including communication via radios and medical first aid prior the execution of integrated exercises on a simulated training ground to practice coordinated activities while carrying out duties at UN peacekeeping missions.
