  • Speech by Chief of Defence Force Major-General Neo Kian Hong at the Chief of Defence Force Change of Command Parade
    Speech by Chief of Defence Force Major-General Neo Kian Hong at the Chief of Defence Force Change of Command Parade 01 Apr 2010 Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Defence, Mr Teo Chee Hean; Minister for Education and Second Minister for Defence, Dr Ng Eng Hen; Permanent Secretaries; Distinguished Guests, Men and Women of the SAF, Good evening, and thank you for your presence. The mission of the Singapore Armed Forces is to deter threats to Singapore's peace and security, and should it fail, to secure a swift and decisive victory over the aggressor. To remain true to our mission, we need a strong and credible SAF to allow us to pursue our national interests and provide space for Singapore to continue to prosper and grow. The key building blocks of the 3rd Generation SAF are already in place. Firstly, the SAF has acquired cutting-edge equipment and formed new units to transform the SAF into an advanced networked force that can seamlessly tap each Service's capabilities. The Sikorsky S-70B naval helicopters, for example, help enhance the frigates' ability to undertake anti- surface and anti-submarine warfare missions at longer ranges. The frigate's Command, Control and Communications suite also allows it to network with a variety of land-based and airborne SAF assets. Similarly, the Army's Terrex combat vehicles are equipped with the Battlefield Management System which allows each vehicle to call on the fire power of an array of air and land platforms, such as the Apache helicopters. Secondly, to deal with an expanded spectrum of operations both at home and overseas, the SAF has been re-organised into new operational commands.
