Integrated live firing from the air and ground, including the first firing of the Belrex Mortar at Shoalwater Bay Training Area, are all part of the SAF's biggest annual training in the land down under.
Chief of Air Force Major-General (MG) Kelvin Khong reflects on the way ahead for the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) and looks back at the past year, in a media interview on the sidelines of Singapore Airshow 2022.
When it comes to overseas training, the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) has marched, sailed and flown all over the globe.
Four times the size of Singapore – that's the vast space the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) works with at Shoalwater Bay Training Area (SWBTA) in Queensland, Australia, where Exercise Wallaby is currently underway.
How do you house some 6,000 people and feed them for three months? You build a pop-up “city” – complete with accommodations and the basic comforts of home – for the thousands of SAF soldiers who train annually in Queensland, Australia.
The SAF returns to Queensland, Australia for Exercise Wallaby 2021 after a pause in the exercise series last year because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This year's Exercise Wallaby training may have been slowed down by a fire ban, but the troops are making the best of the situation.
It's been 30 years since SLTC (NS) Daniel Lim last participated in the exercise as an NSF. Now, he returns as an NSman with his son following in his footsteps.
