Exercise Forging Sabre in Arizona allowed the RSAF and Army to validate integrated strike capabilities.

Conducted in Arizona from 28 November to 11 December 2011, Exercise Forging Sabre was one of the SAF’s largest and most complex exercises conducted in the US. The third instalment in the series, which began in 2005, the exercise involved more than 450 personnel from the RSAF and Army, as well as platforms such as the F-15SG and F16C/D fighters, together with Apache and Chinook helicopters.

It gave the SAF an excellent opportunity to validate its integrated strike capabilities in a realistic and challenging environment, and saw the RSAF’s F-15SG dropping laser joint direct attack munitions for the first time against mobile targets in day and night mission scenarios.
