Basic military training resumed in late May, and overseas military training is also expected to restart soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This includes the participation in the upcoming Rim of the Pacific, or RIMPAC multinational naval exercise, which is due to take place in Hawaii in August. Singapore will send a frigate to the exercise, which will be taking place amid precautions and restrictions to limit to potential spread of COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The RSAF is also in discussions with Australia about resuming training. The two countries have agreements in place for Singaporean military aircraft to conduct unilateral training in northern Australia, utilizing the vast airspace, good weather and training ranges that are not available in Singapore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deliveries of its F-35B fifth-generation stealth fighters to remain on track,
