20 November 2013
Editor: L Askin



The United Kingdom, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia and New Zealand forces are about to conclude Exercise Bersama Lima 2013 in Malaysia. An E-3D and supporting personnel from RAF Waddington have been participating in the exercise.

A Five Power Defence Arrangements (FPDA) activity the exercise is an air and maritime exercise drill aimed at sharing operational methods between the FPDA militaries and boosting relationships and interoperability between participating nations.

The E-3D has two main roles, Airborne Early Warning providing timely information of an opponent’s air activity and his potential to attack friendly territory and secondly, Airborne Warning and Control System which is where the aircraft can also provide control and direction of friendly defensive and offensive airborne operations.

Detachment Commander Wing Commander Tim Monk said: "The RAF's ISTAR Force is regularly called upon to deploy overseas at short notice. Operating with key partners on exercises such as this is an essential part of our preparations helping us to understand each others capabilities and advance our integration."

Airborne Technician, Sergeant Tim Sparkes said "Having the opportunity to operate an E-3D around the world as part of an Operational Conversion Unit course is pretty much unheard of. The experience of working in different climates and operating with other nations will prove invaluable in the future."

Ex BERSAMA LIMA 2013 Returns With A Bang

Posted on November 11, 2013

The multi-national annual exercise called Ex BERSAMA LIMA has returned this year with a bang, beginning with cross-basing deployment between the RMAF’s BAe Hawk Mk 208 and the RSAF’s F-16C/D on November 7.

An RSAF C-130 Hercules as well as 5 F-16C/D Fighting Falcons (from Tengah AB’s No 140 SQN ‘Osprey’) had arrived at Kuantan AFB at around 0845H. The RSAF contingent is led by LTC Dean Tan Wah Kheng. The contingent was then given a brief by the base commander as well as exercise officials at No 17 Skn’s auditorium.

Interestingly, Malaysian contingent in Changi features the veterans of the recent Ops Daulat. Several RMAF Hawk with kill marks were idientified by deployed to the RSAF airbase for the cross-basing deployment. (here)

Last April, as part of FPDA’s Ex BERSAMA SHIELD 2013, both the RMAF and RSAF have jointly conducted fighter land-aways involving their respective Hawk and Falcon fighters. The recent cross-basing deployment was perhaps a continuation of such exercise.

According to the Malaysian Chief of Defence Force, Jen Tan Sri Zulkifeli Mohd. Zin, the RMAF and the RSAF have jointly agreed to reestablish joint air exercise involving the utilisation of both countries airspace and airbases which has been stopped since 1998.

The re-implementation of the joint exercise is due to wide operational levelwhich include adequate numbers of aircraft as well as modern and complete facilities within both countries airbases.

Through the Base Support Agreement (BSA), aircraft from both air forces could assist and cooperate with each others in terms of movement. This could be seen during the recent movement of RMAF Mig-29N Fulcrums from the Smokey Bandit team which had participated Singapore Airshow 2012 in Changi.

The agreement reflects the maturity of cooperation between both countries air forces as well as improving overall capability of the FPDA.

The Five Power Defence Arrangement (FPDA’s) Ex BERSAMA LIMA 2013 is held from November 7 till November 21. The exercise will involve all members of the defence arrangement including Malaysia, Singapore, New Zealand, Australia as well as the UK.

The officiating ceremony of the exercise was held at Butterworth AFB  on November 8 which was attended by all participating members’ Chief of Staff namely LTG Ng Chee Meng (SAF Chief of Defence Force), General David John Hurley (ADF Chief of the Defence Force), Lt Gen Richard Rhys Jones (Chief of the New Zealand Defence Force) and Air Commodore Nick Bray on behalf of UK’s Chief of the General Staff. They were flown to the airbase via RSAF Fokker 50 transport aircraft.

For the first time, despite the absence of RAAF F/A-18F Super Hornet (from RAAF Williamtown’s No 3 SQN), the Australian Air Force is sending a complete array of aircraft platform involving the classic McDonnell Douglas/GAF F/A-18A/B Hornet, Boeing E-7A Wedgetail AEW&C, Lockheed AP-3C Orion MPA (probably from 92 Wing’s Butterworth AFB detachment), Airbus KC-30A MRTT tanker and Beech 350 King Air aircraft. (here)

On November 7, as part of the 15th  FPDA Defence Chiefs Conference (FDCC) which took place from november 6 till November 9, the members’ defence chiefs met in Singapore and discussed and issued the FPDA Exercise Concept Directive.

The directive guides the development of future FPDA exercises and activities to boost cooperation between the five armed forces in conventional and non-conventional operations
