SHOALWATER BAY, Australia - More than 1,600 Singapore and Australian troops are taking part in the bilateral Exercise Trident where air, land and sea servicemen will practise securing a beach and moving inland from three ships.
Helicopters from the Republic of Singapore Air Force will be lifting troops from all three ships, as well as providing support to soldiers on the beach.The presence of two other ships, especially one from a different navy, adds layers of complexity to the exercise - the largest so far - said Senior Lieutenant-Colonel Daniel Koh, the commander for the exercise's naval component.
Referring to the vast space afforded by Shoalwater Bay to the Singapore Armed Forces , he said:"The integration of these into an amphibious operation to send troops from ships onto the beach... is something on a scale we cannot achieve in Singapore."
