The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) is participating in a 12-day Five Power Defence Arrangements (FPDA) exercise code-named Exercise Suman Warrior 06.
Hosted by Australia this year, the exercise is held in Townsville, Queensland until 14 Jul.
Some 60 SAF logisticians from the Army Combat Service Support Command, together with about 200 of their FPDA counterparts from Australia, Malaysia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, are participating in the exercise.
The exercise aims to enhance the interoperability of the FPDA armies and their understanding of one another's organisation, equipment and work processes.
One of the highlights of this year's exercise is the planning and conduct of Combat Service Support operations in support of a multi-national Brigade mounting a conventional mission.
It involves inter-country cooperation to provide logistics support and resupply of food, water and fuel.
Ex Suman Warrior is held annually as part of a series of exercises conducted by the FPDA, which was formed in 1971. It is an important part of the regional security architecture.
