Something on the order of a USN CBG escorting a MAU. Given the strength available in the Air Force, even dispersed as it usually is around the world, and in the Navy, in order for an attack to be successful IMO the attacking naval force needs to be significantly more powerful. As such, once Singapore knew it was a/the target, it would come under attack from the Singaporean (sp?) Armed Forces. It seems as if the attacking force is going to be largely a sea/naval force.

I specifically did not get into which nations would be attacking, as IMO that is of less importance than the question of what sort of equipment the attacking force would need.

Part of a larger regional or world conflict?ДЈ. What is the make/Orbat of the attacking force (i.e. Therefore I have some questions about the attack to be defended against.ДЎ.

In my view, there is no 'best' strategy to defend Singapore, there are just too many factors and variables that need to be taken into account.
