Enhancing Strategic Relevance Deepen our relevance to existing defence partners, while actively building and expanding collaborations with new ones. Contribute to multilateral platforms and partnerships that uphold respect for international law and preserve a rules-based order.
Staying Ahead in Military Readiness Continue to evolve the SAF’s operational concepts, accelerate digital transformation, and adopt advances in technologies that serve as force multipliers. Strengthen the SAF’s indigenous capacities and develop unique value propositions, so as to position ourselves as a partner of choice in capability building, technology innovation and supply chain resilience.
Strengthening National Service (NS) Strengthen our overall capabilities through effective deployment of our service personnel and the adoption of technologies that complement and amplify their strengths. Refine our medical classification system; redesign vocations and roles; and provide more opportunities for Operationally-Ready National Servicemen to apply their civilian expertise.
Building Whole-of-Nation Resilience Broaden avenues and expand opportunities for volunteers of different ages, skillsets and backgrounds to contribute to national defence. Continue to prepare Singapore for crises and disruptions and uphold our collective resilience across generations through Total Defence.
