ORBAT of the 3rd Division from the Singaporean Army

Thanks as always to @realaludiangov and @battle_order for helping me and inspiring me respectively

8th Singaporean Armoured Brigade (8 SAB) is the 3rd Division's armoured component and consists of mixed companies with tank platoons and armoured infantry. The Brigade operates the Leopard 2SG and the Bionix IFV although this may soon be replaced by the new Hunter AFV.

3rd Singaporean Infantry Brigade (3 SIB) contains the Division's active battalions, these are volunteer formations equipped with the Terrex ICV developed in the early 2000s.

Note: There is information that there may be active battalions in each brigade but I could not prove it.

5th and 24th Singaporean Infantry Brigades (5 & 24 SIB) contain much of the Division's NS Battalions, these formations are made up of NSmen who serve 2 year periods in the Singaporean Army as part of their national service.

3 DIVARTY contains the Divisional artillery assets from 3 battalions of field artillery using the FH-90 Field Howitzer system. DIVARTY itself contains a single active battalion, the 21st, as well as a pair of NS Battalions.

3 DISCOM provides the logistical support for 3rd Division, although it's not expressly stated due to lack of information, the presence of 4 Combat Service Support Battalions indicates 1 CSSB allocated 8 SAB as well as 3, 5 and 24 SIBs.

Engineering support for 3rd Division is provided by the Active 30th and the NS 321st Battalions, Singapore Combat Engineers. They provide a mixture of capabilities for the Divison ranging from basic construction to demolitions.

3rd Division has a variety of C4I Battalions as well as an ISTAR Battalion to facilitate command and control as well as provide information for the Division. These Battalions allow the Division to know who they're fighting and how they'll fight them.

Finally, Air Defence is provided by 3rd Divisional Air Defence Artillery Battalion. 3rd ADA Battalion is actually a Singaporean Air Force unit that operates the RBS70 system although there are sources that state they also operate Mechanised Iglas.
