Bring your own bridge

As an island state, bridging operations are likely to be a key portfolio for combat engineers in the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF). The M3 is one of the assets in SAF.

The M3 can be driven into a river and used as a ferry or, when a number are joined together from bank to bank, as a bridge, capable of taking vehicles as heavy as the Challenger MBT. A 100m river can be crossed in 30 minutes, using 8 rigs.
