Forty-six participants from the Republic of Fiji Military Forces (RFMF) are attending a course on enhancing the capabilities of RFMF administrators to ensure all soldiers and sailors are well-administered within their different units.
The 1/23 Basic Administrator’s Course (BAC) started at the Force Training Group (FTG) on February 6, 2023.
While opening the program, Chief Staff Officer (CSO) Service Support Land Force Command Major (Maj) Hiagi Ieli said administrators played an integral role in the RFMF in terms of administrating personnel.
“You will be responsible for the troops’ administrative matters, and you will look after their pay, welfare, re-engagements, and all the little things. The RFMF has its procedures, and your job is to process whatever comes from the higher chain of command,” Major Ieli said.
He said administrators needed to understand the doctrines that existed within the institution because it would assist them in advising personnel on certain decisions that needed to be made.
The BAC is the first military course to be conducted this year.
