SHOALWATER BAY, Queensland: Cutting through the waves on a bright Saturday ( Nov 9 ) morning were two high-speed naval vessels. &nbsp,

Malaysian and American forces quickly disembarked as they came to a end close to the beach at Queensland’s Shoalwater Bay Training Area.

They are part of over 1, 900 personnel involved in this year’s Exercise Trident: &nbsp, A bilateral military exercise between the two countries, &nbsp, and the final phase of the annual Exercise Wallaby, the Singapore Armed Forces ‘ ( SAF ) largest overseas exercise. &nbsp,

The strong art, from&nbsp, the Republic of Singapore Navy, had afterwards bridge not only troops but CNA and other news agencies.

To get to what’s called the Fast Craft Utility, users of the media, including this writer, had to walk along the shore, trying not to drop as our human shoes sank deep into the dust.

The vehicle, which primarily transports SAF soldiers to offshore islands for their education, was the only vessel where we reached when the water reached up to the shins.
