Australian Army soldiers from the 7th Battalion, the Royal Australian Regiment practised offensive operations alongside their Singapore Armed Forces counterparts during Exercise Trident at the Urban Operations Training Facility at Shoalwater Bay on Sunday the 9th of November 2014. The Republic of Singapore Navy's Landing Ship Tank (LST) RSS Persistence hosted the soldiers for two nights during the amphibious phase, 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.
