A Terrex Infantry Carrier Vehicles rumble down a track during the 746SIR’s Army Training Evaluation Centre Stage 1 exercise.
Built around an 8x8 wheel chassis, the 24-tonner has various weapon platforms that allow each vehicle to engage different types of targets.
746SIR (formerly 2SIR, during its active phase) was the first motorised infantry unit to use the Terrex as the mainstay of its operations.
A mortar team from the Support Company rehearses their drills, which consist of setting up the 120mm mortar tube, aligning it with the target, loading the mortar round, a simulated firing, and extracting it safely should it fail to launch.

With barbed wire “blown apart” by Bangalore Torpedoes, and under protection by a hail of 7.62mm bullets laid down by two general purpose machine guns, the point section of Bravo Company storms the first of several “enemy-held” buildings, kicking down doors and systematically clearing out room after room as they re-occupy the premises.
At a makeshift counter at Kranji Camp II, the “ammo party” meticulously counts each round of belted machine-gun ammunition after the soldiers return their ammunition following a late-night exercise.

The indoor range features lighting controls that simulate both day and night conditions, an efficient way of doing away with the need for soldiers to wait for nightfall to commence "night shoots".
