## History

The military base was completed by late April 1976, and later on 10 May 1976, the 2Bn officially moved into Tutong Camp after being temporarily based at [Bolkiah Camp](/source/Bolkiah_Camp).[2][6] A total of six blocks of flats within the camp were scheduled to be completed on 26 November 1978.[4] On 2 September 1965, the [22nd Special Air Service](/source/22nd_Special_Air_Service) (22 SAS) undergone a month long training period at the camp.[7] The Sultan [Hassanal Bolkiah](/source/Hassanal_Bolkiah) presented the [Royal Brunei Armed Forces](/source/Royal_Brunei_Armed_Forces) with scented water during a ceremony at the Tutong Camp Parade Ground on 12 July 1994.[8]

The Tutong District [tug-of-war](/source/Tug_of_war) competition was held at the Tutong Camp Sports Complex for the competition's final match on 10 July 2005.[9] A fire was put out on the 3rd floor of a barrack with no injuries reported on 21 March 2015.[10] [Floods](/source/Flood) caused by heavy rain on 7 December 2019, prompt the Tutong District Disaster Management Committee (DDMC) to identify both Tutong and Penanjong Camps to be used as a place of [refuge](/source/Refugee).[11] Delegation from the Ministry of Defence was participated in the [Fardu Maghrib prayer](/source/Maghrib_prayer) at the camp's Surau Pengiran Ratna Indera on 14 April 2022.[12]

## Facilities

Tutong Camp Primary School comprises three two-storey blocks. One block is designated for administrative purposes, while the other two house 22 classrooms. To accommodate the growing needs of the school, several classrooms have been converted into a computer lab and a science lab. Additionally, the school offers basic facilities, including parking spaces for teachers and guardians, a library, a canteen, and a kitchen. A morning assembly area is also provided for students and teachers. At its inception, the school had only four teachers provided by the [Department of Education](/source/Ministry_of_Education_(Brunei)), but the number has since grown due to increasing student enrolment. As of 2002, the school employs 27 teachers and one teacher from the [Centre for British Teachers](/source/Centre_for_British_Teachers), catering to 349 students—178 boys and 171 girls—from grades I to IV.[13]

There are several facilities built within the base:

- Tutong Camp Sports Complex

- Tutong Camp Drill Square

- Tutong Camp Parade Ground

- Tutong Camp Religious School[14]

- Surau Pengiran Ratna Indera[15]
