Exercise Bersama Padu 2006 will provide an important opportunity for the men and women of the RAAF to train with a multinational force that will include Air Force and Navy representatives from the United Kingdom, Singapore, Malaysia and New Zealand.
The exercise scenario will focus on both the operational and tactical levels of aerial and naval warfare, as well as providing RAAF personnel with a valuable learning experience operating in a multinational environment.
