The German-made M3G Float Bridge acquired to replace the existing fleet of ageing float bridges in the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) is a high-mobility wheeled vehicle which can be opened up as a mobile platform for crossing waterways.

The M3G Float Bridge replaces ageing bridging equipment and significantly enhances the Singapore Army's ability to cross waterways. Besides providing greater mobility and for faster deployment, the new bridging equipment also offers improved carrying capacity and requires less people to operate.

SAF’s Mobility 3rd Generation (M3G) Raft is well recognised as the platform on Marina Bay during NDP. As it swivels, the guns pound away for the 21-gun salute, as accompanying soldiers kneel smartly in their No. 1 Uniforms.

Today, these bridges have been replaced with the Mobility 3rd Generation bridge, or M3G. The M3G is deployed through a remote interface, with the help of a hydraulic arm. In other words, you can now deploy a bridge that can carry up to three 5-tonner trucks mainly by pushing buttons.

The M3G offers improved carrying capacity, greater mobility, faster deployment and can be operated with fewer personnel. These attributes enable the Singapore Combat Engineers to offer improved mobility for the 3rd Generation SAF.

Jun 17, 2023 · This morning's walkabout marked the first time I had seen the M3G crews up close since Pukul Habis, a fictional stoy of war in Malaysia and Singapore, was published. The last time I saw 35 SCE's M3Gs go into the water was in 2019 - before COVID upended our lives and saw NDP scaled down tremendously.
