Sultan Troopers Journal--out!

On the occasion of the brigade's 9th Foundation Anniversary on 26 October, we have published the maiden issue of the Sultan Troopers' Journal--the e-copy is included in this post.

Compared with other military publications, I daresay that this issue attempts to make the articles more understandable to the ordinary civilians. More importantly, it aims to contribute in making the military's existence more meaningful and relevant to the community.

Towards this end, we would appreciate your comments.
