The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) is taking part in the Five Power Defence Arrangements (FPDA) land exercise, codenamed Suman Warrior.

The exercise is hosted by the Australian Defence Force this year, and is being held in Townsville, Australia from October 13 to 25.

A Ministry of Defence statement said some 35 SAF personnel and over 150 personnel from the other four FPDA countries - Australia, Malaysia, New Zealand and United Kingdom - are involved in the exercise.

This year's exercise, the 23rd in the series, is a command post exercise involving the FPDA armies in a humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operation.

The statement said that SAF's regular participation in FPDA exercises reflects Singapore's strong commitment to the FPDA.
