Logical for Guardsmen to participate in Ex Garuda Shield — the Natuna Islands (570 km) are w/in range of RSAF CH-47Fs. The SAF’s 7 SIB’s increased familiarisation w USARPAC heli-ops essential for coalition ops.

Air assault helicopters can be refuelled at sea by USN or RSN LPDs.
Given that the scenario is coalition ops in support of the TNI to take back Natuna Islands, golden hour medical evacuation for the injured can be to a role 1 hospital sitting off the coast — eg. RSS Resolution (208) deployed in support of the US Army led coalition air assault. Image
The SAF did not send airborne troopers to Ex Garuda Shield; instead the army deployment force supported by RSS Resolution (208) was tasked in an air assault role.

RSS Resolution can also carry a role 1 medical module, to provide golden hour medical coverage, for the coalition. Image
