    Military unit

    The Gurkha Security Unit(GSU), formerly known as Gurkha Reserve Unit (GRU) and in Malay as Pasukan Simpanan Gurkha (PSG), also referred to as the Royal Brunei Gurkha Reserve Unit,[1] is a Nepalese special elite guard force and royal guard in Brunei.

    Background

    [edit]

    The GRU are an elite force of soldiers from Nepal who are commissioned by the Sultan of Brunei to protect the royal family, the citizens, and major oil installations.[1] About 500 Gurkhas work for the Brunei Reserve Unit, the bulk of them are former members of the British Army and Singapore Police Force Ex-Nepal and Indian armies who joined the GRU as a second career.[2] The group of ex-Gurkha, collectively referred to as "the Praetorian Guard," was previously led by retired British commanders. Military analysts assert that while being well-paid and housed, these Gurkha regiments are not as effective as those that are part of the British Army.[3]

      I used to be invited by the Staff College at Quetta to give a talk on the evolution of warfare, and at the conclusion, to suggest a method for studying military history. I confess that the only time I deliberately researched the subject was when I appeared for a couple of exams, but that was clearly not what the college had in mind. They wanted a wider perspective spread over the course of a career. So, looking for an answer I did what most people do nowadays, and Googled a question on how to study military history.

      One of the best methods was outlined on a site sponsored by the U.S. Army Maneuver Center of Excellence. It suggests that military history should be studied in three dimensions: in width i.e. how warfare has developed through time; in-depth i.e. taking one campaign or battle and examining it in detail including memoirs, diaries, and even historical fiction; and finally in context i.e. its social, cultural, economic, human, moral, political, and psychological dimensions. It also stated that studying the military is a life-long effort and should be approached systematically over the course of a career.

      I had no reason to disagree with this method, but it is relevant to a society and an officer corps with a habit of reading. Unfortunately, this is not the case in our
