I was just wondering whether Singapore has any similar units that play identical or similar roles such as that.
Does the SAF have combat trackers teams that scout ahead of a main advance,or are dogs in the SAF simply used by the military police to guard bases and detect bombs?
Think they do have very small number of dogs trained as trackers. But singapore situation will not be of much use. In jungle situation, the vegetation is too thick, which confuse and tired out the dogs too fast, so not that effective to be deployed for that purpose
