It encompasses the support given by the mobilisedRMNVR reservists from Singapore, Penang and Klang divisions to the RMN during anti-infiltration patrols in East and West Malaysian waters, as well as serving in the TAG Operational area of Tawau residency (Sabah – North Borneo) under the 42 RM Commando & Green Jackets.
