CHIEF OF DEFENCE FORCE Foreword Congratulations to all course participants of the Malaysian Command and Staff Course (Joint) Serial 52/2023 on your well-deserved graduation. Your accomplishment is a testament to your dedication, hard work, and commitment to mastering the vital knowledge and skills necessary for today's ever-evolving strategic defence and security landscape. In a world marked by ongoing transformation, we find ourselves confronting a diverse array of known and unforeseen challenges within the intricacies of the operational environment. The knowledge you have gained at the Malaysian Armed Forces Staff College will be instrumental in addressing these pressing security concerns. It is our collective duty to adapt and strengthen our military forces to meet the evolving demands of the global security challenges that lie ahead. These challenges are not to be faced in isolation; they necessitate a collaborative effort that extends beyond our military capabilities. We must work hand in hand with other government agencies, adhering to the principles of the Whole of Government and Whole of Society (WoGoS), and harmoniously engage in defence diplomacy. On this note, I extend my gratitude to all 33 Overseas and Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) course participants for successfully completing this course. I trust that your time spent at the Malaysian Armed Forces Staff College has proven rewarding and invaluable. Lastly, I would like to thank the Commandant of the Malaysian Armed Forces Staff College, Directing Staff, Faculty Members, and the unwavering support staff. Their relentless efforts and commitment have been instrumental in bringing this course to success. I must also commend the Editorial Committee for their dedication in documenting the significant events that have transpired during your time here. As you embark on the next chapter of your careers, may the knowledge and experiences gained during this course guide you in your efforts to safeguard our nation's security and contribute to a safer and more secure world. Congratulations once again, and I wish you all the best in your future endeavours.
