Guards unit should do fast roping. Fast but dangerous though. Rappelling takes time.

fast-roping, not rappeling

It's the commando doing the roping down.. I'm the dispatcher from the second chopper, and I'm a commando. =)

LSV is associated with GUARDS.but now,ive seen commandos that are LSV trained.iam a guardsmen myself but the troopers is not rappeling..their descending..and guardsmen dont do descending..we only do rappeling.cheers!

7dimands & adiesufyan, it's NOT guardsmen who did the rope desend, it was the commandos, and i'm very sure about this unless you're telling me guards wear the red beret, but you're true abt the vehicle its the LSV

[vaccine23]

if you were there live, the commentator already states they are Commandos.

[7diamonds]

they are guardsmen, not commandos. what adiesufyan says is correct, those vehicles are the LSV.

the guys doing the repelling are SAF Commandos, go n dig back on ur old straits times man

[adiesufyan]

Soldiers that drop-off/rappel from the helicopters are from the Singapore Guards Battalion. As for the vehicle, it is the Light Strike Vehicle (LSV).
