It is telling to see that still some of our troopers are still armed with M16 and have yet transition to M4. This despite the local manufacturing contract was given years ago and even then there exist conversion kits to turn M16 into M4. As usual our defence industry have failed our boys.
The bulk of the force in this exercise is actually commanded by the person now relieved of command.

Was that unfortunate event stemmed from the CO extreme dissatisfaction of his officers preparation and conduct for this exercise?
BTW, the army keeps on doing exercises where the "good guy " is the one that is doing the attack/assault on the defending "bad guy". We need to do more exercises where the "good guy" is actually the one that needs to do the defending.
Still on Borneo island, the first few units of Pindad Harimau light tanks are being assigned to Batalyon Kavaleri 13 (YonKav 13) in balikpapan kalimantan.
They usually do a lot of scenarios in these kind of exercises but for the closing ceremonies, it is usually the good guys doing the attack.
Agreed. We should be practising how to prevent an amphibious landing or eliminate an air assault.
>we should
Thank you for your input
>M16
>it is telling
Telling what exactly?
The production have been years ongoing, we supposed to have switched over to M4, and yet still we see men with M16. What does that tell you?
M16s that still in use are the one\'s attached with M203 grenade launcher. Even wataniah got M4 nowadays.
There are newer GL for M4 and also M203 can be adapted for M4
Hasnan - “ Agreed. We should be practising how to prevent an amphibious landing or eliminate an air assault”
If one wants to practice for every conceivable scenario the list would be a very long one.
Not sure why it seems like a new thing or surprise since isn't this the same arrangement when the Army was using Steyr AUG? No issues really since the M4 and M16 share common parts, use the same ammunition, use the same magazine.
Eastern Field Command HQ will have its own new installation at Batu Kawa, Kuching, dunno when constructions will start tho.
