Strykers train in Singapore...Thanks again to Vor33 of mp.net for these photos!!!

The soldiers utilized the Murai Urban Training Facility to conduct mobile operations in an urban environment. The soldiers dismounted Terrex Infantry Carrier Vehicles then continued with door-to-door reconnaissance. Lightning Strike, for the first time, was conducted simultaneously with the command post exercise Tiger Balm. The two military exercises are meant to allow the armies to become familiar with each other's techniques, tactics and procedures as well as foster cultural relations. This year the exercises are separate, but in the following years they will be combined and coordinated together into a larger more complex training scenario.
