It is part of British Forces Brunei (BFB), and the JWTS is headquartered at Medicina Lines (approximately 75 minute car journey from Brunei International Airport), near the Bruneian town Seria within Mukim Seria, Belait District, in the sultanate of Brunei Darussalam;[3][4] whilst its actual training facility is located at Sittang Camp in the Tutong District.[2]
