The RSAF launched Exercise Forging Sabre in the US, showcasing precision strikes and integrated air-land operations in a networked environment.

Exercise Forging Sabre was the SAF’s first unilateral exercise in the US. Held in the vast Mojave Desert from 10 to 21 November 2005, the exercise sought to integrate the operations of the SAF’s Apache and Chinook helicopters, F-16 fighter aircraft, UAVs, and Artillery and Commando ground forces. Some of the RSAF’s capabilities, namely precision strike as well as Integrated Knowledge-based Command and Control, were demonstrated, showcasing the RSAF’s ability to effectively deploy the different forces in a network-centric environment.
