SAF Chief of Army (COA) Major-General (MG) David Neo and MAF COA, General (GEN) Datuk Seri Mohammad bin Ab Rahman co-officiated the opening ceremony of XSB23 in Kranji Camp III on 8 May 2023. In his opening address, MG Neo said, “As our flagship exercise, Exercise Semangat Bersatu is testament to the close friendship between our forces. For this year’s edition, we are incorporating drone flying operations. This builds on our years of sharing of tactics, techniques and procedures, as well as combined mission planning and execution. Beyond professional exchanges and training, XSB23 is also a chance for soldiers from both armies to make new friends and forge strong friendships.” The XSB was first held in 1999 and provides a valuable platform for both armies to strengthen professional interactions. The SAF and the MAF interact regularly across a range of activities, including bilateral exchanges, cross-attendance of courses and multilateral activities under the ambit of the Five Power Defence Arrangements and the ASEAN Defence Ministers’ Meeting (ADMM)/ADMM-Plus.
