The RSAF held Exercise Western Arc with the French Air Force, boosting combat skills through dissimilar air combat training.
Exercise Western Arc was the RSAF’s first bilateral exercise with the French Air Force (FAF), and was conducted from 23 February to 7 March 1998. The exercise provided dissimilar air combat training that enabled the RSAF to improve its operational preparedness and combat efficiency with the FAF.
