Operational Readiness
Singapore’s small size means that the SAF lacks strategic depth to
manoeuvre in, or to fall back on. We depend on airborne early warning
systems to alert us to any threat. The SAF must also be in a high state of
combat readiness at all times, to repel any surprise military attack. This
ability to mount an immediate and massive response is a cornerstone of
the SAF’s operational and development strategies.
Operational readiness has three main components:
Immediate Response. The SAF can respond immediately to any
military threat. A vital core of land, sea and air forces is on standby
round-the-clock, fully armed and equipped, ready to go into action at
a moment’s notice. The initial level of response can be rapidly upgraded
through the activation of additional battalions and squadrons, and even
divisions, if the threat develops further. This immediate response
capability is central to Singapore’s policy of deterrence.
