no effort so far to ensure readiness?

1 batt by 10 para by 24 hours and 1 sec by ggk within 2 hours should seem reasonable...

24 jam standby tu mmg sentiasa ada
tu pasal satu lagi batt para ditubuhkan kat Terrengganu tu

Para standby boleh deploy less then 1 hour from

aa xle cakap la

announcement dia buat macam 150+ orang saja

Exercise Valiant Mark 2019









From perfecting capabilities to building bonds, the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) and the U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) worked together hand-in-hand at Exercise Valiant Mark 2019.

In its 23rd edition this year, the 18-day exercise involved around 900 personnel from the SAF's 7th Singapore Infantry Brigade (7 SIB), 1st Battalion Singapore Guards (1 Guards), 24th Battalion Singapore Artillery (24 SA) and the Army Deployment Force (ADF), and the 2nd Battalion of the USMC 7th Marine Regiment. The Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) also deployed four AH-64D Apache attack helicopters, two CH-47SD Chinook helicopters and two AS332 Super Puma helicopters to support the exercise.

The exercise culminated in a battalion heli-borne mission, which entailed joint planning and a deliberate assault by the troops. Other exercise elements included live-firing, jungle training and urban operations training.

But in jungle survival training, anything that is remotely meat is edible.

Such as durian.

Good old tropical fruits

Besides the usual fire-starting and building of A-frame photos, the US military personnel were treated to good old tropical durian and jackfruit — delicacies for locals, but probably less so for foreigners not used to pungent flavours.



Valiant Mark 2019 joint exercise

As mentioned in the Facebook post caption, the US marines are in Singapore for two weeks to participate in Valiant Mark 2019.

Some 900 soldiers from the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) and the US Marine Corps are taking part in this annual bilateral exercise that is held from April 11 to 29, 2019.



A United States Embassy statement on Monday, April 22 said the exercise was designed to “enhance inter-operability, build defence capability, and strengthen military-to-military relationships” between the US Marine Corps and SAF.

Mindef said the exercise, launched in 1991, “underscores the excellent and longstanding bilateral defence relations between Singapore and the US”.

This year’s exercise is the 23rd time it was held.

Last year’s exercise took place in August in California and involved more than 1,000 soldiers.

Singapore’s heat and humidity
Some of the exercises include live-firing, jungle training and urban operations training.

US marines were integrated with Singapore troops, and vice versa.

Full-time National Servicemen (NSFs) from Singapore are also part of the exercise.

One area the American forces had to contend with was Singapore’s heat and humidity — something they were not used to besides the jungle environment.

As a result, the US military personnel had to acclimatise to conditions here and to keep hydrated constantly.



Heliborne mission
Participating units were the SAF’s 7th Singapore Infantry Brigade, 1st Battalion Singapore Guards, 24th Battalion Singapore Artillery and the Army Deployment Force, as well as the United States Marine Corps’ 2nd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment.

The Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) also deployed four AH-64D Apache attack helicopters, two CH-47SD Chinook helicopters and two AS332 Super Puma helicopters to support the exercise.

Exercise Valiant Mark culminated in a two-day battalion heliborne mission that concluded on Wednesday, April 24 — which involved joint planning and a deliberate assault.

It was held at Murai Urban Training Facility.

Indonesia detains 12 Vietnamese fishermen



The navy subsequently arrested a dozen Vietnamese fishermen after the high-seas clash in the southern-most reaches of the South China Sea last Saturday, it added in a statement late on Sunday. Indonesia claims the area as its exclusive economic zone - waters where a state has the right to exploit resources.

The navy said two Vietnamese Coast Guard ships tried to prevent the apprehension by ramming its vessel, causing damage to the hull.


Separately, the fishing boat sank possibly due to an accidental collision, the Indonesian authorities said, without elaborating.

Two fishermen escaped detention by jumping into the water. They were picked up by the Vietnamese Coast Guard, which then fled, the navy said.

"The arrest happened in Indonesian waters," Rear-Admiral Yudo Margono, commander of Indonesia's Western Fleet, said in a statement. "The Indonesian vessel acted appropriately."

A video on social media purported to show a Vietnamese patrol boat ramming the left side of the Indonesian vessel as the armed navy crew shouted expletives.

Two years ago, Indonesia changed the name of the southern part of the South China Sea to the North Natuna Sea in a bid to show its sovereignty over the waters.

More recently, it inaugurated a new military base in the chain of several hundred small islands to beef up its border defence.

The moves have prompted criticism from China, whose claims in the sea overlap Indonesia's around the remote Natuna Islands.

Indonesia, the world's biggest archipelago nation, has been trying to stop foreign vessels fishing illegally in its territory, claiming it costs the economy billions of dollars annually.
