Singapore Armoured Regiment Organisation and Equipment

41 SAR and 42 SAR as well as a reservist SAR were under 4 SAB and it's only a few years ago that 4 SAB was moved from Gedong to Kranji.Originally posted by iveco:25 DIV according to Tim Huxley is more of a reserve division. He claims that there is a possible 32 DIV, of which 4 SAB is a part of.
BTW, is 46 SAR part of 4 SAB or 8 SAB? Also, since when has 4 SAB been based @ Kranji? Wasn't it from Sungai Gedung all along?
The old 4 SAB building in Gedong, after a refurbishing, is now the new HQ Armour. -
Deh, during that period, 46 wasn't even ops ready, they didn't take atec in wallaby till middle of 2002. Until then 42 was still kiaping 4, 2 ntms, and ops b like crazy.Originally posted by CM06:actually 46 SAR was the one that got the most arrows then
Cant let me *sway* buddies' efforts go down the drain with that kind of remarks

Hasn't HQ Armour been @ Sungai Gedung all along? In fact, SGC is the main depot for Armour.Originally posted by ah-soh:41 SAR and 42 SAR as well as a reservist SAR were under 4 SAB and it's only a few years ago that 4 SAB was moved from Gedong to Kranji.

Its true, 4SAB is being shifted to Krangi in around 2002. And the buildings left vacant for quite some time.Originally posted by ah-soh:

Thats strange, the former premises for 4 SAB in Gedong is much older than the AHQ during my time. In fact back in 2001, AHQ is the 2nd newest building in Gedong after ATC(i think now the name change to ATI). Therefore it doesn't make any sense for AHQ to be shifted to the renovated former 4 SAB HQ. But then again when we go for the MBT talk in January next year we can find this out for ourselves! Looking forward to it!

Yes all the way HQ Armour has been in Gedong. Only that during early this year they shift from their original premised to the renovated old HQ4SAB building in Gedong and their initial location is now the HQ for ATI.Originally posted by iveco:Hasn't HQ Armour been @ Sungai Gedung all along?

During my active days I have been to both the new and old AHQ. -

Well firstly Tempest doesn't officially exist so the numbers are not confirmed & secondly, it is rather old. How effective would it be against the armour from up north?Originally posted by gary1910:Let's look at the number , 100+ Tempest plus 66+30 Leo 2 can certainly make up a whole farking Heavy Armoured Div!!!!
Then you add in say 2 Bn of Primus SPH , 100 BX II , and a few Apaches etc.
It will scare the sh!t out of anyone in the region!!!! -
True true...hmmm my buddies fake me then....but hey they kenna the NDP....that one si bei xiong!!!Originally posted by ditzy:Deh, during that period, 46 wasn't even ops ready, they didn't take atec in wallaby till middle of 2002. Until then 42 was still kiaping 4, 2 ntms, and ops b like crazy.
Edit: Not sure if 120mm is enough for the pt-91..the rest should be no problem.
