Singapore's defence force chief visits US
By S Ramesh, Channel NewsAsia
SINGAPORE : Singapore's Chief of Defence Force, Lieutenant-General Ng Yat Chung, is on an eight-day visit to the United States starting Sunday.
MINDEF said this was General Ng's first visit to the US as chief of defence force.
He will call on the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Richard Myers, Secretary of the Navy Gordon England, and other senior US Armed Forces officials.
General Ng will also visit the US Joint Forces Command in Norfolk, Virginia, and the Republic of Singapore Air Force's training detachments in the US.
MINDEF said that General Ng's visit underscored the strong defence relationship between the US and Singapore.
The two armed forces interact regularly and this has served to enhance their professionalism and inter-operability. - CNA /ct -
oh oh ... dun tell mi...... F15?? sianz 3/4

To jump to the conclusion that he's there to discuss F-15 is a bit premature.
It's CDF going to visit USA, not CAF and he's visiting specifically the Secretary of Navy (Person in charge of Navy & Marine Corps) not the Secretary of Air Force...
At the same time, the current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is an air force guy but with so many exercises and training stints going on by all our three services with all their four services, they could be discussing anything. -
