1st APU

The 1st Armored Personnel Unit (1st APU) was established in 1982 as part of a broader effort to modernize mechanized infantry capabilities. Initially equipped with M113 armored personnel carriers, the unit participated in several key training exercises throughout the 1980s, enhancing its operational readiness. During the early 1990s, the 1st APU was deployed in peacekeeping missions under United Nations command, gaining valuable experience in multinational operations. Over the years, the unit has undergone several upgrades, most recently transitioning to the latest modular armored vehicles to maintain its role at the forefront of rapid deployment and mechanized infantry tactics.
