significant contributions to the development of the 3rd Generation

in motorised infantry operations. MG Chan also oversaw the revamp
of the SAF's combat fitness training system to strengthen our
soldiers' abilities to operate in an increasingly complex and
urbanised operational environment. Under MG Chan's command, the
Army made significant contributions to the multinational
stabilisation and reconstruction efforts in Afghanistan, deploying
Weapon Locating Radar teams and an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Task
