This year's Exercise Safkar Indopura, the 22nd in the series, is a combined brigade field exercise.
About 300 personnel from Headquarters 3rd Singapore Infantry Brigade and 2nd Battalion Singapore Infantry Regiment joined about 400 personnel from the 13th Infantry Brigade, 303rd and 321st Infantry Battalions of TNI-AD's Strategic Reserve Command (KOSTRAD) to participate in this year's exercise.
