Singapore Army Divisions Explained 

The basic organisation of 3, 6, 9 Div is open and public information. What’s secret are the many units that won’t be in this structure… So depending on where you served, don’t anyhow say your unit structures… unless it’s in the public.

Yes I remember when I was serving in 2PDF as reservist I saw 1 unit serving there also not engineers or whatever we are familiar with... Wonder what unit that is.....

@@evolution8662 A lot of things we see in camp we would otherwise never see in public (or even during NDP etc.) So... yea...

@@eatdriveplay Or else what...kena sue..??

@@giddysoo3640 Yea as in..??

I certainly don't see how criticizing someone's way of speaking is considered constructive. Here are some solutions to your problems: you can either (a) deal with it, (b) mute the audio and just read the subtitles, or (c) don't watch my video. Have a nice day.

@@YGfromSG No need to get defensive. It definitely feels like you're speaking in an unnatural manner, especially when compared with your older videos. Constructive criticism on your way of speaking does exist, since it's something that you can train and improve on. If you watch western news, you should realise that the news reporters all kinda sound the same, and that is because they had to train on how to speak, so that everyone can understand them, no matter what kind of accent they originally had.

That's because I put on a narrator voice whenever I make videos and also because I'm not a professional news broadcaster. Well, if you're calling my way of speaking "incredibly annoying", I also find your comment "incredibly annoying"? I certainly don't speak like this all the time and speak differently depending on who I'm taking to. For instance, I do use Singlish when speaking to Singaporeans.

​​Aiyo they will never get the Sg accent lah just ignore them.

​@@Global_majesty That's far from an SG accent lol. YG has made videos in the past without this "narrator" voice as he puts it. That's what I would consider an SG accent, not this.

Hi, thanks for sharing. The NCC currently falls under the respective AORs of the DIVs, similar to the specialist training schools.

i remembered last time our school got armskote room for the ncc , inside they store those old ww2 rifles from the brits which i think is lee enfield. of course no firing pins.

If I'm not mistaken, Commandant NCC reported to COA when I was in service. I recall some Commander's Planning Guidance from COA. In the past, the NCC Land Districts were affiliated to the designated divisions, yes.

Actually, the first police organizational structure I posted was regarding the Singapore Police's Special Operations Command (SOC) and other elite police units.

​​​@@YGfromSGI didn't know about that.

Oh, I had a commando friend who's pui pui even during his NS days. Not sure how that works. 🤷🏻‍♂😅

There are many ways to handle during reservist which are up to the COs. For example, They can warn the men that if they don't get a silver, they will give penalties like an extra day stay in during weekend. Normally a simple pass is already below expectation even by the most relaxed CO standards. If the reservist CDO soldier kept failing his ippt, the chief commando reserve the right to kick the soldier out and deploy to other units, changing the reservist period from 5-6 years to 10 years. (Was what I heard during NS days). I even hear that previously there was a parade to give back the red beret to the unit, as compared to taking the beret from the unit. 😅 There are pui pui commandos even during NS days but they train like fk to at least get an infantry gold to qualify for the red beret

After all, the Best combat unit award involves NSFs and NSmen ippt and atec, so no surprise if the COs of the reservist commandos push like crazy 😂

@@JoshuaHoe Ok! Thanks! So garang. Glad I was never posted to CDO.

reservist can still get charged for alot of reasons. my unit reservist got charged before. So that could be a motivation factor. Anyway ippt grading got different cat , reservist as we age the requirements also drop. Also know a ex commando , short and stocky , older than me but still can 1 night 5 shots at the age of close to 50. 😁

No, I have not.

What book was it??

@@evolution8662 i cant remember after 20 years, i just photocopy as i was ordered. Thinking back is it legal to photocopy such a book for my boss? Haha

@@KingMaldini03 But nothing happened to you right......

Yes, they do. But, I just left that out for some unknown reason. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@YGfromSG not discounting the contributions of NSFs from SCDF and the Police...but a country`s credibility and might in geopolitical terms are truly measured in military strength and economic progress...SG is perhaps the only country in the world that practices conscription for its civil defence force and police(S Korea does as well but in minimal numbers as with SG)...

@@arthuryang481 I wonder when we'd go the way of Israel and just enlist the ladies the same. not likely anytime soon tho...

​@@PrograError SG enlisting the ladies highly unlikely to happen due to the advance of military tech that have reduce the need for manpower... unfortunately NS is a sacrifice needed to be made for the greater good of the nation...it allows for a world class armed forces to be maintained at a lower cost and frees up manpower(in this the female population) to function the economy...a progressing economy is needed to finance a strong military and having a strong military ensures a stable geopolitical environment for the economy to grow...please do not underestimate the economic contributions made by the female population of this country...

@@arthuryang481 who's underestimating who? Sure the ladies countributed to the economy by being relatively free of commitments. I do think if we're (government) to implement NS, it wouldn't need to be a 1:1 of the Israel. They would very well be as a social benefit model. And also add to the civilian knowledge base on how to do first aid/ medical in emergencies and other situations. They wouldn't need the 10 cycle but there could be tax benefits if they volunteer for it... After all, our natural resources are human resources ain't it?

G6 is just training branch of the Army. It’s just an office. What’s there to make a documentary of? Siao or what?

@@eatdriveplay Yess......

1 page, single sided, Standing-orders(within general-orders), and 1/3 page Routine-orders(modifier to S.O, within G.O), to be downgraded and release to troops, on the topic of how to handle political-circus and police and other armed-uniformed groups.

size-gauge = army, division, brigade, battalion, company, platoon, (detail), section, ... air-marshall, naval-admiral, rear-ended= expensive without correct command. joke = what is your command = reply loyal-troops headcount. air-sea are ... not-infantry

guard-duty, should have 20 round magazine with, more than 0.38 police-special of 5-rounds, issued. they are not tactical movement and therefore should be 20 tracers.

Hi, to clarify some of your questions, my guess is that Singapore follows British Army traditions, similar to Malaysia whereby their army is called Tentera Darat Malaysia (Malaysian Army), and does not carry the 'diraja' (royal) title like the Tentera Laut Diraja Malaysia (Royal Malaysian Navy). During civil emergencies, the Army technically has overall operational command because the military has the most resources and manpower. However, there can also be a sharing of operational command due to mutual respect and depending on the circumstances, such as during a natural disaster whereby civil agencies are more familiar with such situations. Administratively, civil agencies are under their own civilian leaders. Singapore Army divisions do function like combatant commands and they are also responsible for respective specialist training schools. As mentioned in my video, 3rd, 6th and 9th divisions are combined maneuver arms. The overall doctrine development falls under the Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC), but 9th Division, which HQ Infantry is subordinate to, is responsible for all infantry matters ranging from infantry training to infantry doctrine. Other divisions such as 2 PDF is responsible for the training of military police whereas 6 DIV is responsible for artillery and army intelligence specialist training and so on. Army formations or regiments, like Singapore Infantry Regiment or Guards Formation, within the Singapore Army only provide administrative functions and regimental colors, like having a family name, but have no operational command.

@@YGfromSG Hey. Thanks for making the effort to produce the video. When it comes to the SAF its role and mission are not very clear. Even the Ministry of Defence doesn't really publish much and when they do it is often more marketing approach not deep into history. As for following the British Army, historically, there was no unified army. There were regiments, and each regiment was an independent army. Some were raised by Kings so some regiments have the Royal titles, e.g. Royal Regiment of Fusiliers. Some regiments were not raised by Kings so they don't have the title Royal. When the regiments were placed under a unified body, the British Army, the title Royal was left to individual regiments. I believe that is the case for Malaysia too. Johor, for example, has its own Army but can be federalised. So not calling Royal Malaysian Army make sense. In the case of the SAF that is a bit hard to explain. It is unclear if there is an official name for Singapore Army or the SAF is the Singapore Army. This might make sense in that probably the SAF is a unified military force, like PLA and the Canadian Forces. In the case of the PLA, the PLAN, PLAAF, and all others are subordinate to the Army. The Canadian Forces is probably the same as the PLA but in that case, the Army, Navy and Airforce are not separate branches but under the overall administrative and operational command of the Canadian Forces. The Canadian Navy and Air Force are probably in same status as one of the infantry regiment. Britain had a unified Navy and was raised by the King, hence the Royal Navy -- not the Royal British Navy as the Royal Navy is the official name. The Royal Navy was formed before the British Army.

@@pjs20thetube "It is unclear if there is an official name for Singapore Army or the SAF is the Singapore Army." The Singapore Army is the land service branch of the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF). "When it comes to the SAF its role and mission are not very clear." The mission of Ministry of Defence and the Singapore Armed Forces is to enhance Singapore's peace and security through deterrence and diplomacy, and should these fail, to secure a swift and decisive victory over the aggressor. The Ministry of Defence has clearly published this mission statement.

@@YGfromSG Thanks. I have read the Ministry of Defence mission statement but as I have indicated, they read more like marketing speak than clarity, Let's contrast that with the US Army which says: "To deploy, fight and win our nation's wars by providing ready, prompt and sustained land dominance by Army forces across the full spectrum of conflict as part of the joint force". So it is clear that its mission and role is to train, equipped and provide forces to joint forces -- i.e. forces under a unified command that can comprise elements of Air, Naval, Coast guards, Marines or Space Forces. That could be any domain -- air, land or space. So the Ar,my can be under the command of a Navy Admiral or Air Force or the Army can be in command of other elements, depending on the mission under combatant command. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying you are wrong. What I am saying is your videos help to clarify even more. So continue with more.

Hi, as stated at the start of my video, all information is publicly available to anyone with an internet connection. (:

@@YGfromSG China will be drooling with such detail information , we just have to wait and see how it will turn out if fighting being. Wonder how many Singaporeans will die because of your helpful information to the enemy. there will always be traitors in every country

This is literally wikipedia and news article stitched up into a video format. everything shown in the video are publicly available information. this goes to show how lack of critical thinking is affecting people of this country.
