Officer(IO) Scheme
About the Scheme
Officially inaugurated on 5th April 2001, the scheme aims to
develop a group of professional IOs to meet today's highly dynamic
and sophisticated intelligence environment.
The scheme offers a challenging and rewarding military career in
the SAF Intelligence. It will appeal to you if you have a keen
interest in current affairs, geopolitical development and if you
are technically inclined. The scheme provides job rotation in the
functional areas of Analysis, Collection, Operations, Planning,
Research, Technical and Human Resource Management.
There will be a recruitment interview conducted to select
applicants with the following attributes:
Inquisitive and Analytical
Creative
Ambiguity
Tolerant
Decisive
Self-Motivated
Good Communication skills
As the scheme is meant for Officers only, you will first have to
qualify for OCS on your own merit and be subsequently commissioned
as an Officer.
Route of Advancement
The Route of Advancement (ROA) of an IO is the rate at which he
ascends the ranks and takes up appointments of increasing
importance and greater responsibility.
IOs can expect a full military career within the SAF Intelligence
in which Officers progress to senior positions within the
Intelligence Units and Departments on the basis of performance and
potential.
