The Republic of Fiji Military Forces (RFMF) has initiated the Coral Sustainer 2025 Military Instructors Course, held at the Logistics Support Unit (LSU) Tender Board Room in Queen Elizabeth Barracks, Nabua. This significant training effort aims to bolster the instructional skills of RFMF logistics non-commissioned officers (NCOs) and enhance the overall proficiency of the military.
The course was launched with an opening address by Lieutenant Rebecca Rasmussen from the Australian Defence Force (ADF), who is leading the facilitation team. Lt. Rasmussen emphasized the strong partnership between the ADF and RFMF, focusing on the commitments to professionalism, instructional excellence, and regional collaboration.
Aligned with the strategic goals of Commander RFMF and Commander Land Forces, the Coral Sustainer course aims to equip RFMF NCOs with the skills to deliver structured and effective military training. This initiative is part of a broader mission to formalize and document logistics training, thereby improving institutional knowledge and operational effectiveness over time.
Additionally, the course plays an essential role in strengthening regional partnerships and fostering better interoperability between the RFMF and ADF. The event was attended by Major Tupou Colati, LSU’s Second-in-Command, along with ADF course instructors and participants from the RFMF Logistic Support Unit and Engineers Regiment, highlighting a collaborative effort toward enhancing military education and training in Fiji.
Such training initiatives are vital for uplifting the capabilities of the RFMF and ensuring its readiness to address future challenges. They represent a hopeful commitment to developing a capable and effective military force that can work in synergy with its regional partners.
In light of recent activities, including the completion of selection processes for the Engineers Regiment and ongoing leadership training courses, the RFMF’s proactive approach to enhancing its personnel’s skills indicates a determined focus on national security and professional development.
