Philippines Crack Troops Share Marawi Lesson With Singapore Armed Forces

Two months after the end of military operations in the southern Philippines city of Marawi, soldiers from the Philippines Army held a professional exchange with the Singapore Armed Forces in Singapore. Forty members of the Philippine Army's elite Special Operations Command were sent for the two-week exchange which focuses on Urban Operation (UO).

The exchange culminated in a joint execution of a Platoon UO mission at the Murai Urban Live Firing Facility (MULFAC). Through this professional exchange, Philippine soldiers had the opportunity to further refine their UO skills while Singapore benefited from the knowledge shared about the Marawi operations.

MULFAC is a state-of-the-art live firing facility that enhances the training realism and effectiveness in a safe urban live firing environment. The facility can support collective urban live firing up to company level.

MULFAC comprises of  five UO Buildings, two Firebases (a Close and Far Firebase), a Hand Grenade House and An After Action Review  Facility.
