Pusat Latihan Peperangan Khusus (PULPAK) (English: Special Warfare Training Centre, Jawi: ڤوست لاتيهن ڤڤراڠن خصوص) is one of the Malaysian Army training center and located at the Sungai Udang Camp, Malacca. Primarily task to provide basic commando course and specialised courses and trainings for personnel from Gerup Gerak Khas and Malaysian Armed Forces (ATM) Special Units to strengthen the Malaysian defense garrison from enemies and terrorist threats.

Regional political and military developments in Southeast Asia have raised the idea of creating a special training center to train personnel who are experts in their field, especially for the members of the Pasukan Gerak Khas. The training center was formed on 1 August 1976 before fully operational on 1 January 1977 as Malaysian Armed Forces' Pusat Latihan Peperangan Khas (PLPK) or PLPK ATM at Sungai Udang Camp, Malacca. Before PLPK establishment, every ATM's special operations forces were trained in specialized course at overseas military school. The rise of the cost to send them overseas is the other reasons for PLPK formation. The basic courses such as Kursus Asas Komando (Basic Commando Course) were conducted by personnel from 1st Gerak Khas Regiment (now 21 Gerup Gerak Khas) before the formation of PLPK.
