OUR ARMY: READY, DECISIVE, RESPECTED

Our Army is the bedrock of our nation's defence. We draw our strength from our Regulars, NSFs and Operationally Ready NSmen. We thrive on the support of our Families, Employers and fellow Singaporeans. Decisive in war, we will fight and win to defend our country. Respected by all, our Army is a trusted national institution. We forge the fighting spirit of our people to secure our future and protect our way of life.

From civilian to soldier, entrusted to protect what matters most. 🫡🇸🇬

Our recruits from the 35th Battalion, Singapore Combat Engineers (35 SCE), took another step in their soldiering journey as they received their weapons aboard a Mobility 3rd Generation (M3G) raft on 11 October 2026.

The Weapon Presentation Ceremony marks a key milestone in every recruit’s journey from civilian to trained soldier. Facing a HDB estate - the home of everyday Singaporeans - the recruits were solemnly reminded that the responsibility of protecting their country and loved ones now rests upon them.

Our Army would like to congratulate our recruits on this momentous milestone, and wish them all the best in their NS journey ahead!

For SCT Sivakumar Praveen, it meant coming back after a viral infection forced him to withdraw from his previous course. He recovered, trained harder, achieved IPPT Gold, passed his SOC — and is now on his way to earning his stripes. 💪

That kind of resilience is exactly what we look for in our leaders.

I visited the Specialist and Warrant Officer Institute (SWI) today to see how our Specialist Cadets are trained. 22 weeks. 3,900 graduates a year. And now — drones. The SAF's new Surveillance Drone Package means every future Section Commander learns to deploy a micro-drone for real-time battlefield surveillance.

Proud of the quiet professionals who make up our WOSpec Corps. They've been the backbone of the SAF since 1969. 🇸🇬

This time in 🦘: Pathfinders in training!

Across the vast terrain of Shoalwater Bay Training Area (SWBTA), Guards Training Centre (GTC) put our Pathfinders and the Light Strike Vehicle (LSV) Mark II through their paces, sharpening their skills and pushing the envelope further.

Through integrated training with the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF), our Guardsmen operated across land and air, strengthening coordination and enhancing operational readiness.

Always Ready, Ready to Strike.

🏆 A Historic First for Team Singapore at the Army Ten-Miler!

Our Army’s Team Singapore made history, clinching first place in the All Comers Category at the 42nd Army Ten-Miler on 11 October 2026 in Washington, D.C., USA!

Our eight runners were Second Warrant Officer (2WO) Malcom Goh, Captain (CPT) Lucas Lim Wei Xin, CPT Sean Khong Jun Cheng, Third Warrant Officer (3WO) Foo Chek Jun, 3WO Syed Danial bin Syed Faisal Alhinduan, CPT Wilsvin Leong, 3WO Lim Kai Feng Lawrence and Staff Sergeant (SSG) Loh Sin Yi, led by Team Manager and Coach 3WO Justin Lim Tze Kheng.

After two months and over 600km of training, the team braved heavy rain, cold weather and slippery roads to clock a combined 4:04:42, improving on last year’s 4:05:50 to claim their first title!

The team’s fastest runner, 2WO Malcom Goh, finished in 58:32. Reflecting on the experience, he shared:

“I can only say it was an experience running in the rain and I’m grateful for the opportunity to represent the organisation.”

For 3WO Justin Lim, who competed in 2025, the win was especially meaningful:

“I am extremely proud of what the team has achieved, not only in improving their individual timings and overall team performance, but also in securing the championship for the first time.”

Other milestones included CPT Lucas Lim’s unofficial 10km personal best (PB) of 37:13, CPT Wilsvin Leong improving his 10km timing by 6 minutes and 6 seconds, and 3WO Syed Danial achieving multiple PBs after ACL surgery on both knees.

SSG Loh Sin Yi, who missed selection last year, reflected:

“Sometimes, all it takes is someone telling you to try, even when you doubt yourself. I’m really glad I gave myself another chance.”

As CPT Sean Khong reflected, first place was a fitting reward for the team’s hard work. Their journey was defined by resilience, determination and camaraderie.

Congratulations, Team Singapore, and thank you for flying our flag high! 🇸🇬💪

𝐈 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞.

For SSG Caryl Chong, it’s about answering a calling she felt long before she could put it into words.

She traded a career in finance for a life in uniform, and found herself taking on challenges she never imagined. She has never looked back since.

As a Rigger Specialist, Caryl packs, inspects and maintains the parachutes that jump operations depend on, where precision and attention to detail are critical. She also supports mission planning and the readiness of Commando units, while serving as the aide for the Chief Master Trainer.

But she didn’t stop there. Caryl went on to qualify in both Static Line and Free Fall, and took on planning and procurement responsibilities for the Formation Skydiving team, working with external partners to support training across all ranks.

Within six months, she earned a place on the formation’s main female skydiving team. She went on to represent Singapore at the FAI Indoor Formation Skydiving World Meet and the US Nationals. Most recently, her team won second place in the Asian Indoor Skydiving Championships in Indonesia.

For Caryl, Anything But Regular means refusing to live on autopilot. “I choose to be intentional in how I think, how I act, and how I grow. It’s not about standing out for the sake of it. It’s about being real, being driven, and never staying stagnant.”

Her journey shows that choosing to serve can take you places you never expected, and challenge you to become more than what you thought you could be.

This is her story, told through the moments she’s lived and captured.

Precision, teamwork and determination — taking our teams to the podium. 🏅

Our Singapore Army teams soared to the podium at the 2nd Asian Indoor Skydiving Championship in Indonesia, going up against strong teams from across Asia.

Competing in the 4-way Formation Skydiving and 4-way Formation Skydiving (Female) categories, our teams secured 2nd and 3rd place respectively!

Their performance is a testament to the commitment, perseverance and teamwork that our soldiers bring to everything they do. A big congratulations to our teams on this achievement, and for flying the Singapore flag high on the regional stage! 🇸🇬

One last parade. A lifetime of memories. A bond that never fades.

The Wolves of 10 C4I Battalion stood together one final time as Full-Time National Servicemen on 13 October 2026, marking a significant milestone in their journey as they transition to Operationally Ready National Service (ORNS).

In his tribute speech, Commanding Officer, Lieutenant Colonel (LTC) Tan Peng Ning reflected on the remarkable achievements of our servicemen, recognising their unwavering dedication, hard work, and commitment. He also expressed heartfelt appreciation to the families and loved ones whose steadfast support made their journey possible.

For the servicemen of 10 C4I Battalion, their journey has been shaped by shared experiences, dedication and the bonds forged through years of service.

While their paths may lead them in different directions, the memories, camaraderie and Wolf Spirit will remain.
For the strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack.

As the haze situation develops, the SAF continues to carry out essential operations to keep Singapore safe.

We are closely monitoring air quality and adjusting training and outdoor activities based on the 24-hour PSI and 1-hour PM2.5 readings to minimise our personnel's exposure to the haze. Where appropriate, activities will be rescheduled or moved indoors, while maintaining operational readiness.

We understand that the haze can be worrying for families, especially when their loved ones are undergoing training or carrying out duties outdoors. The health and safety of our service personnel remain a priority, and our commanders will continue to monitor conditions closely and take appropriate precautions to look after our people.

50 years of strength, celebrated together! 🎉

Servicemen and women from the 6th Singapore Division / Headquarters Sense & Strike (6 Div/HQ SS) came together with their loved ones at Mandai Hill Camp for an action-packed Family Day on 3 October 2026, celebrating the Division’s Golden Jubilee!

From getting up close with military equipment at the static displays and trying their hand at flying drones, to enjoying the thrills of the carnival and magic show, there was something for everyone!

The excitement continued with balloon sculpting, caricature drawing and activities for both the young and young at heart — not forgetting the delicious spread of treats from food stalls and food trucks that kept everyone fuelled throughout the day! 🎈🎨🍔✨

Beyond the fun and excitement, Family Day offered our loved ones a glimpse into Army life and an opportunity to better appreciate the dedication and commitment of our soldiers. More importantly, it brought Our Army family closer together, strengthening the bonds between our Regulars, NSFs, NSmen, DXOs and the families who stand alongside them.

As 6 Div/HQ SS commemorates 50 years of service, the celebration serves as a reminder that behind every soldier is a strong network of family and loved ones whose unwavering support enables us to remain committed to the defence of Singapore.

Here’s to 50 years of dedication, shared experiences and enduring bonds — and to the people who continue to make Our Army strong!

On the ground, alongside our soldiers. 🫡

Chief of Army, Major-General (MG) Cai Dexian, and Sergeant Major of the Army (SMA), Chief Warrant Officer (CWO) Chua Hong Hup, visited our troops at Exercise Wallaby (XWB) 2026 in Australia, where our NSmen, NSFs and SAFVC Volunteers are training hard across the vast and challenging terrain of Shoalwater Bay Training Area.

During the visit, MG Cai observed various training activities, received updates on ongoing efforts, including new technologies and systems being trialled to enhance operational effectiveness, and also engaged our soldiers.

MG Cai thanked our soldiers for their service and shared that Our Army will continue to focus on realistic training, operational readiness and capability development as we prepare ourselves to always meet evolving operational demands. He emphasised that regardless of how things change, our people will always remain our strong permanent competitive advantage.
