*EMBARGOED UNTIL 9 SEP 2025, 1800HRS (SG TIME)*
Exercise Forging Sabre 2025 (XFS25) is a Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) integrated sense and strike exercise involving more than 800 personnel from across the SAF and Defence Technology Community. It will include a suite of sense and strike assets, systems and warfighting platforms from the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) and the Digital and Intelligence Service (DIS). Held from 6 to 21 September 2025 at Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho, US, XFS25 allows the SAF to conduct large-scale and realistic training in a vast training area with an airspace more than 20 times the size of Singapore. This year’s exercise theme of ‘Integrated, Adaptive, Precise’ reflects the SAF’s sharp edge in an increasingly complex battlespace.
