Today is Royal Brunei Armed Forces Day – a public holiday in Brunei Darussalam. This public holiday marks the formation of the Royal Brunei Armed Forces on 31 May 1961. Brunei had been a British protectorate since 1888, and as such, was reliant on the British armed forces for protection and defense.
On 31 May 1961, to prepare for future independence, recruits from Brunei began military training, creating the first Brunei military force named the Brunei Malay Regiment. On 31 May 1965, the regiment was honored with the royal title.
When Brunei gained independence from Britain on 1 January 1984, the Royal Brunei Malay Regiment was renamed as the Royal Brunei Armed Forces.
