In a continuing effort to make the training more realistic and relevant to all participants, the Royal Thai Supreme Command invited Singapore to participate in the actual exercise. Because many military planners believe multilateral responses to regional contingencies are likely to be the norm in the future, as was demonstrated in East Timor, it is imperative that friends and allies in the region train together to improve interoperability, techniques, and procedures, and to build cooperative relationships.
