Military Defence

Military Defence is having an SAF able to deter aggression. A first-class SAF - one that has the capability to act effectively and decisively should deterrence and diplomacy fail - is essential to building a strong Military Defence. While Military Defence is the responsibility of NSmen, full-time National Servicemen and regulars in the SAF, it also involves our own military industries having the capacity to meet the SAF's weapons and ammunition requirements.

What it means?

Deterring aggression
The SAF is a credible defence force that is able to deter aggression and secure a swift victory over the aggressor should deterrence fail.

Being operationally ready
National Service is the only viable option to ensure our security. When National Servicemen (NSmen) and full-time NSmen (NSFs) take their training seriously, they help to build a strong and operationally ready SAF. Our operational readiness also stems from ensuring that weapons systems are in good working order all the time, and keeping abreast of the latest advancements in technology to meet new challenges on the battlefield.

Being able to meet all kinds of challenges
The SAF has widened its capabilities to deal with non-conventional threats such as terrorist bombings, hijackings, and chemical, biological and radiological attacks. MINDEF and the SAF will continue to work together with other security agencies to improve our collective ability to deal with such threats.

A note from Jeffrey;

For guys, take your National Service seriously and if you are a girl and do not want to go to NS, maybe you might consider joining Uniform Groups (UG) instead to learn more about the lifeskills needed and also to have a taste of what NS life is basically about too. =D
