The Republic of Fiji Military Forces, Commander Land Force (CLF) Colonel Onisivoro Covunisaqa, today 19th October 2021, opened the 𝘊𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘞𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘳 𝘊𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘮 2021 at the Tuvasu Hall, Queen Elizabeth Barracks (QEB), Nabua.

The Coral Warrior Program is divided into three groups. These consist of the Military Police (MP) Course, Physical Training Instructors’ (PTI) Course and Public Affairs Photographic Course. The Australian Defence Advisor Colonel Robert Haertsch and Instructors from the Australian Defence Force (ADF) were also present during the opening address.

The Commander Land Force said that the Program is also part of the 𝘝𝘶𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘦 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱 initiative. He described that a 𝘷𝘶𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘦 or family relationship has no barriers between them and is a good platform for RFMF to enhance its commitment with ADF.

“We have a lot to gain that the Land Force Command acknowledges that there are opportunities to learn from the Australian Army, the package that will be shared in a couple of weeks hopefully will enhance knowledge and skills of our soldiers and hopefully strengthen the cooperation of the two forces in the near future”.

Close to sixty service members including three from the Fiji Police Force will be taking part in the month-long program.
