      The Special Warfare Training Centre (Abbr.: SWTC; Malay: Pusat Latihan Peperangan Khusus — PULPAK; Jawi: ڤوست لاتيهن ڤڤراڠن خصوص) is a Malaysian Army training centre located at the Sungai Udang Camp in Malacca. Its primary purpose is to conduct special forces selection and to provide specialised courses and training for personnel from the 21st Special Service Group, 10th Parachute Brigade, and other elite units of the Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF) (Angkatan Tentera Malaysia — ATM) to strengthen Malaysia's defensive garrison against enemies and terrorists.
      The SWTC also provides training to personnel from the Royal Malaysian Police, the Malaysian Coast Guard, the Johor Military Force, and the special forces of neighbouring nations, such as Brunei, Myanmar, and the Maldives.
      The SWTC is managed by the 21st Special Service Group and administered by the Army Training and Doctrine Command (Markas Pemerintahan Latihan dan Doktrin Tentera Darat). The technical control of SWTC is overseen by the Special Forces Operation Cell (Sel Operasi Pasukan Khusus — SOPASUS) of the Operations and Training Wing (Cawangan Operasi dan Latihan — OPLAT) of the Malaysian Army Command (Markas Tentera Darat).


      History




      = Establishment as Special Warfare Training Centre of Malaysian Armed Forces

      =
      Regional political and military changes in Southeast Asia led to the idea of establishing a special training facility to provide personnel with specialised knowledge, particularly for Gerak Khas members. On 1 August 1976, the training centre was established at Sungai Udang Camp in Malacca as Pusat Latihan Peperangan Khas Angkatan Tentera Malaysia (PLPK ATM). By 1 January 1977, the centre had become fully operational and had begun conducting special forces selection.
      In 1979, the training centre expanded its role to become a comprehensive military school, teaching a variety of special operations skills. Before 1979, MAF's special operations personnel received specialised training at overseas military academies. The rising costs of sending personnel overseas contributed to the development of SWTC. Prior to the foundation of SWTC, members of the 1st Malaysian Special Service Regiment (now known as the 21st Commando Regiment) conducted fundamental courses such as the Basic Commando Course (Kursus Asas Komando).


      = Name Change to Special Warfare Training Centre of Malaysian Army

      =
      In 1985, PLPK ATM was renamed Pusat Latihan Peperangan Khas Tentera Darat (PLPK TD) after the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) and Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) began conducting their own special forces selection at their respective bases.


      = Transfer to the Command of the Malaysian Army Training and Doctrine Command

      =
      In 1995, PLPK TD changed its name once more when all training institutes under the Malaysian Army were renamed in accordance with the creation of the Army Training and Doctrine Command (Pemerintahan Latihan dan Doktrin Tentera Darat). It is currently called the Special Warfare Training Centre or Pusat Latihan Peperangan Khusus in Malay and is popularly known by the abbreviation of its Malay name, PULPAK. The centre is no longer under the administration of the 21st Special Service Group but is now administered by the Army Training and Doctrine Command.
