The Singapore Armed Forces' new fourth service will commence hiring within weeks, while its core training and operations facilities such as a new command centre for digital operations and a facility to host multilateral cyber exercises will also be set up in the same time...

"There will be no more thought of cooperation, let alone integration. There are shades of the 1930s when Germany invaded Czechoslovakia, and Asia is not immune," Dr Ng said.

Meanwhile, a new Centre of Excellence for Cyber Range will be the focus of many DIS operatives' training. Mindef said it will be capable of simulating a suite of realistic scenarios such as enterprise information systems and critical information systems and will host exercises with commercial and military partners, here and from overseas.

The SAF will also be appointing a Chief Digitalisation Officer to lead and drive the SAF's digital transformation to make up for manpower loss due to falling birth rates. The CDO - distinct from the DIS chief - will set priorities and targets across the SAF for digitalisation, and will report to the Chief of Defence Force.

Dr Ng said his ministry continues to commit to making the SAF worthwhile both for full-time national servicemen and operationally-ready national servicemen.
