RAAF contingent arrives in Malaysia for Exercise Bersama Lima (file photo)

7 November 2013 Thursday

Royal Australian Air Force F/A-18A/B Hornets and personnel from Number 3 Squadron, RAAF base Williamtown, have arrived in Malaysia to join defence forces from Malays...ia, New Zealand, Singapore and the United Kingdom for Exercise Bersama Lima 2013.

The two-week international exercise, which commences on 7 November, will see air, ground and naval assets from participating nations exercising in various locations over the Malaysian Peninsula and South China Sea. Exercise Bersama Lima promotes a shared understanding of air and maritime operations, the protection of the marine environment and disaster relief.

For the first time in Malaysia, the RAAF will be supporting the exercise with a full complement of integrated air support, including the E-7A Wedgetail, AP-3C Orion, KC-30A Multi Role Tanker Transport and a KA350 King Air.

Commanding Officer of Number 3 Squadron, Wing Commander Tim Alsop, said “This is a very complex exercise for the participating nations, due mainly to the level of activity taking place throughout the Malaysian Peninsula and Singapore during the activity.”

“The exercise starts with five days of Force Integration Training, where we learn how each others’ aircraft and aircrew work, and gain an understanding of the airspace and terrain.

“This year we have brought an integrated fighting package, including the KC-30A MRTT to keep us in the fight longer, and the E-7A Wedgetail that will provide greatly increased battlespace awareness. This is the first time we have had this level of support on a Malaysian deployment,” Wing Commander Alsop said.
The Orion and King Air will also participate, as well as RAAF air and ground crews who will train alongside Australia’s regional partners and build on existing relationships.

“We always look forward to deploying to Malaysia and Singapore; they are fantastic hosts and great friends. We learn so much from the unique training opportunities presented here, some of which are not available back in Australia,” Wing Commander Tim Alsop said.

Exercise Bersama Lima is part of the Five Power Defence Arrangement (FPDA). The exercise will conclude on 21 November.

Malaysia, Singapore to resume jetfighter cross deployment exercise after 15 years
9 November 2013 Saturday

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-K9_-HhzjNlo/Un-5n0_CUwI/AAAAAAAAE14/Hak7h_Rjuho/s640/gsdagsaerdwgera.jpg

BUTTERWORTH: The air forces of Malaysia and Singapore will deploy jetfighters to each other’s air bases in the first cross base exercise between them since 1998, said Armed Forces chief Tan Sri Zulkifeli Mohd Zin.

He said this was part of the two-week joint exercise of the Five Power Defence Arrangement (FPDA) member states involving 2,000 members of the defence forces, 68 aircraft, 10 ships and a number of ground-based air defence units starting Nov 6.

The cross deployment stipulated under the Base Support Arrangement (BSA) would enabled the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) and Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) to cooperate and assist each to cater to the needs and requirements in terms of security of both countries.

“It is also aimed at enhancing ties and understanding among members of RMAF and RSAF,” he told a news conference in conjunction with the opening ceremony of Exercise Bersama Lima 2013 (Ex s BL 13) at the RMAF airbase here yesterday.

He said the joint exercise entailed the army, naval and air firepower among FPDA member states comprising the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Malaysia.

Zulkifeli the exercise involved command post exercise at the Butterworth Airbase and field training exercise over the South China Sea.

He said the training would boost bilateral cooperation between Malaysia and Singapore as it would enhance understanding during mutual cross deployment of aircraft between the two countries.

“Five Hawk MK 208 will be deployed by the RMAF while five F-16C/D will be dispatched by the RSAF during the exercise,” he added.

The Ex s BL 13 opening ceremony was also attended by Australia chief of defence force Gen David John Hurley, Singapore chief of defence force Lt-Gen Ng Chee Meng, New Zealand chief of defence force Lt-Gen Richard Rhys Jones, and British RAF Regiment’s Commandant General Air Commodore Nick Bray.

The FPDA was put in place in 1971 as a “loose consultative political framework” to replace the Anglo-Malaysian Defence Agreement when Britain pulled its troops out of Singapore and Malaysia.
