    SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Hawaii - The “Broncos” of the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, hosted a six-member Singapore army delegation at the Mission Training Complex, Jan 19-22, 2016.

    The delegation led by Col. Teo Wee Hong, chief of staff, 6th Division, Singapore army, discussed planning on the upcoming Tiger Balm 16 exercise slated for this summer.

    Capt. Matt Potts, assistant operations officer, 3rd BCT, described Tiger Balm 16 as a bilateral exercise between the U.S. and Singapore army troops on Oahu and Pohakuloa Training Area located on the island of Hawaii.

    “Approximately 150 Singapore army infantry, staff and artillery soldiers partner with the 3rd BCT to conduct joint training in order to continue building a robust partnership with our Singapore ally,” Potts said.

    Discussions included joint live-fire exercises at PTA and a command post exercise with the Hawaii National Guard at Bellows Air Force Station, he added.

    The Singapore army delegation also paid a visit to the Hawaii National Guard, 298th Regiment’s Multi-Functional Training Unit, Regional Training Institute (RTI) facilities, located at Bellows Air Force Station, Jan. 21, to get a personal view on the proposed facilities to be used by some of the Singapore army troops during Tiger Balm 16.

    During his inspection tour, Teo thanked Lt. Col. Wesley Tanji, executive officer, and Command Sgt. Maj. Belynn A. Watson, commandant, both of the 298th Regt., RTI Noncommissioned Officer Academy.
    After the success of the initial planning conference, a second conference is slated to take place in Singapore in March and a final conference here in April.
