Well...that's the famed US ROE. But again...mebbe SAF doesn't practice the same ROEOriginally posted by Seth35:Isnt there a Standard Rule...Do not fire until Fire upon... -
i think we do.
it's something like "you are authorised to use appropriate force to neutralise a threat to your life, your comrade's life and SAF equipment."
smt like that. -

armed millitary escort is a must. because dont espect other country soldier come and save your citizen if the airport were rushed by crazy maniac. In that case none. -
be4 the embassy move to Niaper road there was a squard or detachment of marine station in Singapore to provide security for the US embassy and its staff. I think they still do. Uncle Sam use to rent a house near united Square vincinity to house the personnel. They do not necessary wear the uniform when they are outside the embassy.Originally posted by Ponders:Vienna Convention provides for Embassies to be the sovereign territory of the country of that embassy (not literally).
Basically, Embassies are immune from local laws but host country can enforce local laws upon approval from the Embassies's country.
Whether US embassy in SG have Marine guards is up to US's assessment of the security in Singapore.
But it has been policy for them to station a detail at least at every Embassy/Consulate. THey have an entire Marine Security Battalion to guard their embassies worldwide.
They are allowed to be armed under the virtues of Vienna Convention.
I believe in the past the marine use to rotate out from thailand, with the additional logistics base and bigger embassy building i am sure additional security measure are taken given the terrorist threat around the world. -
anymore info than this? how about the protest outside S'pore embassy in Philippine?Originally posted by Ponders:Let me give you further details..
The Defence attache of Singapore Embassy in Jakarta (usually a COL), have to ensure the safety of the Embassy.
That's about all.

i supposed you could call it tested with degree of uncertainty. but i think the picture taken was more symbolic for SAF readiness.Originally posted by LazerLordz:Combat exfiltration. The guys were on hostile ground and were armed 24/7.
but i remember watching TV where a malaysian had someone holding a malaysian flag pole walking to the plane. That was a strange picture. -
Yeap, the US Embassy in SG has Marine guards inside. And I think they're armed too though I do not see them carry weapons.
Never saw them at the gates. The guys at the gates are usually police or ghurkas. The marines usually hang around inside, at their security post, iirc in the middle of the foyer. -
The outside compound security is Sing gov responsibilities. The security inside the compound belong to uncle sam land. So security naturally fall onto the marine.Originally posted by Shotgun:Yeap, the US Embassy in SG has Marine guards inside. And I think they're armed too though I do not see them carry weapons.
