SAF to develop integrated task force against terrorist threats
30 June [CNA] SINGAPORE: The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) is looking at developing a potent, integrated Special Operations Task Force that will have capabilities to counter terrorist threats from land, sky and sea. This will comprise the SAF's special operations forces, such as the Commandos and Naval Diving Unit.
The chief commando officer will be appointed commander of the Special Operations Task Force, while the commander of the Naval Diving Unit will be the Force's deputy commander.
This is part of the overall priority to build on the third generation Singapore Armed Forces.
The moves were mapped out in an interview with Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Teo Chee Hean ...
Transforming the SAF into a third generation force began in 2004. Five years later, Defence Minister Teo said the key building blocks of having a modernised networked force capable of a wider spectrum of operations and manned by well-trained and committed people are in place. ...
Mr Teo said that with the SAF now able to to conduct a wider spectrum of activities, it could also contribute to regional peace and stability besides carrying out its main mission of defending Singapore. ....
Mr Teo stressed that a key element in the 3G transformation is homeland security, and that is where the new special operations command will help the men work together much more cohesively. ....
Every year, up to six per cent of national spending goes to defence. ...
