Operationally Ready NSmen are a vital part of the SAF and forms
the core fighting force. Each year, you will be called up for
in-camp-training for two to three weeks to maintain your individual
proficiency as well as to build unit cohesion. Such training
ensures the highest level of operational readiness in the SAF. From
1 Apr 06, you need to serve only 10 years of ICT. You will also be
activated regularly for mobilisation exercises.
To ensure that NSmen can strike a balance between the competing
demands of NS duties, family and work, you will be called up for no
longer than the period required to meet the training objectives.
While NSmen can be called up for a maximum of 40 days of NS
in a work year, in practice, an NSman is generally called up for
not more than 14 days for local training, or 21 days for overseas
training in your high-key training year. MINDEF has also restricted
the number of times an NSman can be called up for NS duties to a
maximum of three times per work year and ensure that notices for
call ups are also provided at least 6 months in advance of the
training commencement date.
