SINGAPORE - The Singapore Army will resume more overseas training exercises this year, and they will be conducted on a larger scale as Singapore moves to living with Covid-19, said the Chief of Army,

Brigadier-General David Neo, on Wednesday .

"We go the extra mile to send a larger group of commanders to do the ground recces, including things such as making sure the training grounds are all safe... So no effort spared on every last detail, and that is the approach we take in every single exercise that we resume." As operations ramp up, BG Neo, who took over as chief of army in March, will be taking the lead in ensuring that safety remains paramount. He plans to go to Brunei, where the army conducts training such as jungle confidence courses, later this year.

Ground units will start to see the introduction of unmanned capabilities to enhance their lethality and survivability. He said the army will also be moving towards a science-based and data-enabled training approach, noting that the Centre of Excellence for Soldier Performance, which started in 2017, has leveraged its expertise on physiotherapy, nutrition and technology to change the way soldiers train and recover.
