FAKTA MENARIK | SEJARAH JOHOR | 
PENGLIBATAN INSTITUSI DIRAJA JOHOR DALAM BIDANG KETENTERAAN - BAHAGIAN ENAM
Antara fokus Sultan Sir Ibrahim adalah memperkemaskan pasukan Askar Timbalan Setia Negeri (ATSN) agar sentiasa dalam keadaan bersiap siaga dalam pelbagai situasi. Negeri Johor tercatat dalam satu sejarah apabila terlibat dalam bantuan misi perang dunia pertama di Singapura. Sebahagian anggota rejimen ke-5 tentera British yang dianggotai oleh pasukan dari negara India telah melakukan pemberontakan terhadap tentera British di Singapura.
Merasakan kepentingan keselamatan sejagat, Sultan Sir Ibrahim telah menawarkan bantuan seramai 190 anggota ATSN untuk berkhidmat bersama tentera British di Singapura di mana baginda juga turut serta berada bersama dengan pasukan baginda sehari sebelum pulang ke Johor. Kumpulan pemberontak yang dilaporkan telah menyeberang ke Johor hari berikutnya mencetuskan kecemasan dan kebimbangan baginda terhadap keselamatan rakyat dan negeri Johor. Pertempuran pada tahun 1915 itu turut mengorbankan pegawai ATSN berbangsa Inggeris iaitu Sarjan Mejar Cullimore.
Dalam pertempuran di Kulai, pasukan baginda telah berjaya mengelakkan ia berlaku lebih buruk dan kesemua empat puluh pemberontak tunduk menyerah diri apabila berhadapan dengan baginda serta bersetuju meletakkan senjata mereka di hadapan baginda sendiri. Peristiwa itu mendapat setinggi-tinggi penghargaan dari Raja serta kerajaan England dan darjah kebesaran Knight Grand Cross The Most Distinguished St. Michael And St. George telah dianugerahkan kepada baginda. Allah Peliharakan Sultan.

INTERESTING FACTS | HISTORY OF JOHOR | JOHOR ROYAL FAMILY'S MILITARY INVOLVEMENT - PART SIX
One of Sultan Sir Ibrahim's key focus was to ensure the Johor Military Force to be always ready for any situation. According to history books, Johor was involved in an incident in Singapore during the First World War. Some of the British army's 5th Light Infantry, consisting of soldiers from India, rebelled against the British army in Singapore.
Understanding the importance of regional safety, Sultan Sir Ibrahim offered 190 members of the Johor Military Force to work with the British army in Singapore, and His Majesty also spent time with the soldiers a day before returning to Johor. The rebels reportedly crossed over to Johor the next day, which raised His Majesty's concern and worry for the safety of the Johor rakyat and state. The incident in 1915 saw a JMF member of English descent, Sergeant Major Cullimore, sacrifice his life.
During the battle in Kulai, His Majesty's army was able to prevent the situation from becoming worse and all forty members of the mutiny surrendered when they faced His Majesty and agreed to put down their weapons in front of His Majesty. The incident was highly praised by the King and the government of England and saw the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George being granted to His Majesty. Allah Peliharakan Sultan.
