Urban Action
-
With the increasing urbanisation, it becomes clear that the battlefields of the future will not be fields and forests, but also the concrete jungle.
9th Division/Infantry Formation leads the way in Our ArmyÂ’s experimentation in urban combat capabilities. The Urban Operations Demonstration on 25 February at Kranji Camp included a briefing by Chief Infantry Officer, COL Winston Toh to Chief of Army, MG Desmond Kuek and senior commanders on the new technologies and techniques for Fighting in Built-Up Areas. An assault by the 1st Urban Ops Capable Infantry Company, 3rd Singapore Infantry Regiment and static displays that provided more in-depth information about the new weapons being introduced to the SAF such as Pack-bots (Armed Remote-Controlled Robots) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles were also showcased.

Get their SBO changed first..How can you conduct area denial / MOUT small spaces combat with such SBOs?Get them on the LBV or MOLLE system asap.
And their stacking is not quite good..Prone to enemy fire from the flanks. -
Are they wearing black face masks or is that camo cream on their faces?
-
i was wondering...who train them anywaes?....SOF?....STAR?....or 'in-house' training?

doesnt make much sense for them to be wearing face masks.Originally posted by ditzy:Are they wearing black face masks or is that camo cream on their faces? -
anything is possible during WYS, especially big ones.Originally posted by wuming78:doesnt make much sense for them to be wearing face masks.
only during WYS or where there will be photos taken are soldiers issued with the sage nomex gloves....else is use those fingerless meshgloves ownself buy one.... -
Dude.What I'm saying is clearly evident in the pictures.Originally posted by chunyong:dun say out mah cos i think cqb tactics not supposed to comment in public domain, u know i know ok liao... -
since we're on the topic of proper training.
how about getting the army to switch to paintball rather than the laserquest atec? -

in this day and age, surely we can have bio-degradable dye?

For Fibua/FOFO training, i agree, though i would rather we used simunitions. For other applications, there doesn't seem to be any viable substitute for MILES.Originally posted by nismoS132:since we're on the topic of proper training.

seems to me infantry been getting all the spotlight lately, the merger of 9div and infantry, 6SIR as a POI battalion, the combat skills badge and now this.

Personally, i rather they spend money on changing the SBO and the field pack. Velcro is not tactical. Neither is the black trash bag.Originally posted by I-like-flings(m):still no confirm news when SAF changing to digital?

no thanks. i'll give it a miss. i like the current one the way it is now.Originally posted by I-like-flings(m):still no confirm news when SAF changing to digital?
i want my LBV! better not let me see anyone leaving your LBV lying around cos it will be gone in a brink of an eye.Originally posted by lwflee:Personally, i rather they spend money on changing the SBO and the field pack. Velcro is not tactical. Neither is the black trash bag.

Have they issued a new LBV? Is it the one on the army poster featuring a guardsman doing POI?Originally posted by Gordonator:i want my LBV! better not let me see anyone leaving your LBV lying around cos it will be gone in a brink of an eye. -
ya. but so far only combat units are using. sigh.Originally posted by lwflee:Have they issued a new LBV? Is it the one on the army poster featuring a guardsman doing POI?

Ok Thx. But then aren't combat engineers considered as a combat unit? What about reservists.... *sigh* i want new stuff!vOriginally posted by Gordonator:ya. but so far only combat units are using. sigh. -
its high time i would say. they have always been the neglected sibling of the guards and commandos.Originally posted by Gordonator:seems to me infantry been getting all the spotlight lately, the merger of 9div and infantry, 6SIR as a POI battalion, the combat skills badge and now this. -
Hmm, when did this come out?Together with the supposed new rank insignia?If we ever switch to woodland MARPAT, i'll be wearing it only on reservist.Originally posted by I-like-flings(m):still no confirm news when SAF changing to digital?
