Chief of Defence Force, Air Chief Marshal Mark Binskin, AC, along with senior defence and ministerial representatives from both Australia and Singapore were given a demonstration of the amphibious capabilities being used throughout Exercise Trident on Saturday the 8th of November 2014. Australian Army soldiers from the 7th Battalion, the Royal Australian Regiment practised amphibious and offensive operations alongside their Singapore Armed Forces counterparts during the exercise which was held in Shoalwater Bay, Queensland. The Republic of Singapore Navys Landing Ship Tank (LST) RSS Persistence hosted the soldiers for two nights, before the land forces went ashore to conduct the assault phase of the exercise and share tactics, techniques and procedures within the Australian and Singapore defence forces. Exercise Trident is a bilateral exercise involving elements of the Singapore Armed Forces and the Australian Defence Force which provides opportunities for the exchange of subject matter expertise by the armed forces of both nations. The exercise is conducted within the Defence International Engagement Plan, which is focused on building closer relationships between Australia and its regional neighbours.
