    TABLE OF CONTENTS Message by Minister for Defence 02 TOWARDS EXCELLENCE – Our Journey 06 Foreword by Chief of Defence Force 04 TO LEAD – Our Command Schools 30 Specialist and Warrant Officer Institute 32 Officer Cadet School 54 Preface by Commandant 05 SAF Advanced Schools 82 SAFTI Military Institute Goh Keng Swee Command and Staff College 94 TO EXCEL – Our Centres of Excellence 108 Institute for Military Learning 110 Centre for Learning Systems 114 Centre for Operational Learning 119 SAF Education Office 123 Centre for Leadership Development 126 TO OVERCOME – Developing Leaders For The Next 50 Years 134 APPENDICES 146 Speeches SAFTI was the key to these ambitious plans because our founding leaders recognised even at the inception of the SAF that good leaders and professional training were key ingredients to raise a professional military capable of defending Singapore. MESSAGE FROM MINISTER FOR DEFENCE To many pioneer SAF regulars, NSmen and indeed the public at large, SAFTI is the birthplace of the SAF. Here, at Pasir Laba Camp, was where all energies were focused to build the foundations of the military of a newly independent Singapore. The Government and Singaporeans knew what was at stake - a strong SAF was needed urgently to defend our sovereignty and maintain our new found independence. The political battles were fought through the enactment of the SAF and Enlistment Acts in Parliament. These seminal acts were critical but they were but the beginning. The real war had to be fought in the community, as Government and its Members of Parliament convinced each family to do their duty and give up their sons for military service.

As part of SAFTI MI’s 50th anniversary celebrations, PM Lee also unveiled a mural enshrining the images of the first batch of SAF officers 1 on SAFTI’s grounds. The mural was donated by SAFTI’s pioneers in commemoration of the institute's golden jubilee. Speaking at the parade, PM Lee said that SAFTI MI had transformed generation after generation, and is today a key institution of the SAF. "(SAFTI MI) produces and trains the SAF leaders of today and tomorrow. SAFTI graduates have built and transformed the SAF, and that is why starting from just two infantry battalions 50 years ago, the SAF is now a tri-service, 3rd Generation fighting force," he said. PM Lee also congratulated the commissioning cadets for completing their course, stating that today began the new chapter of their service to the SAF and to Singapore. He wished them every success in their appointments as SAF officers and told them to always remember to live up to the Officer's Creed.

RAJARATNAM SCHOOL OF INTERNATIONAL STUDIES SINGAPORE 22 NOVEMBER 2018 Abstract Even as smaller and less well funded armed forces are still grappling with incorporating computerisation into personnel, supply and other military functions for increased efficiency or effectiveness, this hallmark of the Third Industrial Revolution is already being eclipsed by developments from the dawn of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Developments like artificial intelligence, autonomous drones, three-dimensional printing and genetic engineering will deeply affect the profession of arms, with armed services from smaller or poorer nations being no exception. Without the deep pockets needed to fully exploit all these cutting-edge developments, small and mid- sized militaries will still have to adapt as best as they can to the changing winds of the Fourth Industrial Revolution while attempting to mitigate any harmful after effects. The industrial and technological impacts of this revolution on the human resource, intelligence, logistics and operational functions of smaller armed forces will be examined and their implications analysed. Accordingly, the overall military influence of the Fourth Industrial Revolution can be assessed and appropriate operational and policy-based advice for smaller armed services suggested.

MID approached a few countries for help in setting up the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) from scratch. Israel responded favourably and Israeli advisors arrived in Singapore on 30 December 1965. One of the first things that the Singapore Government addressed after separation It was quickly realised that to build up a credible was the creation of an indigenous military defence, there was a need to train and develop capability. The obvious reasons were that capable commanders - a corps of Officers and Non- as a sovereign state, Singapore would Commissioned Officers (NCOs) to lead the new SAF.

    Speaking Of Asia Such a long journey: Merlion on the Ganges The back story of how Singapore's ties with India grew over the decades is something to note and celebrate as New Delhi steps up its engagement with Asean Watching Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong emerge swiftly from the official Mercedes-Benz limousine to an extended hand-clasp with Mr Narendra Modi, as the Indian leader waited for his guests at his nation's 69th Republic Day parade, it was impossible to escape a sense of wonderment at the long road Singapore and India have travelled to reach where they are today. Mr Lee led the Asean delegation to New Delhi last week when India, in an unprecedented gesture, invited all 10 Asean heads of government to be guests of honour at its annual celebration to mark its creation as a republic in 1950, three years after winning independence from Britain. While it was fortuitous that Singapore should be in the chair when New Delhi made this strong signal to South-east Asia, it was perhaps fitting that it should have been so. For no nation has been so enthusiastic a cheerleader of India's contemporary national story, or its deepening alliance with Asean, as the smallest nation in the grouping – Singapore. A quarter century ago when then Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong began showing interest in the Indian growth story, following India's economic liberalisation of 1991, there were plenty of doubters on this island. The world, then in the thrall of the Asian Tigers, had little time for India.
