If not mistaken, STAR is for domestic crisis, SOF,SWG and the likes are for International crisis.

Happy viewing, it's one of the episode....

I think the SPEAR team at the Home Team Academy open house back in Sept 06. Saw them displaying some equipment and there was a short unarmed demo as well. All I can say is they have some really nice equipment!

Pitot SG

touchy issue though.

If the action taken by the rebels were related to crime, i think STAR will still take charge.

Pitot SG

prolly a Sphinx S3000 if their equipment are modelled closly to STAR's.

I still have this prisons career magazine that came with 8 Days. One person interviewed was a SPEAR officer. Hostage situation was definitely mentioned. And I doubt he was lying.

wonderamazement SG

Touchy indeed... Just anything generally related to crime will come under STAR's charge.
Nice video about the SAS btw... Cool

touchstone_2000 SG

SPEAR coverage is the inmates only. STAR is for more like law enforcement, within Singapore, where SG law applies.

Where international law applies, it is eaiser to use the military.

IIRC when the Pakistanis hijacked the SG-MY shuttle flight, STAR was already formed by under another name. Anyone?

acwire_2125 SG

Ok, so they are already formed? Hmm, this tells us that STAR is really a secret unit. Saw the STAR video and they were wearing Urban coloured Tiger stripes camo for their uniform. Their gear seems very advanced too.

I think SPEAR only operates its special duties within the prisons only except when escorting dangerous criminals do they then go out.

One thing is for sure though SPEAR and STAR units when they operate they cannot kill on sight and try to arrest the criminals but when CDO or any SAF special forces operate i think they are most likely given the green light to stop the enemy.

StRiKeMaN SG

SPEAR, STAR, SECCOM, STS.

Wooosh........... Razz

bendito.L SG

i thought it's Singapore Prisons Emergency Action Response (or something like that) Question

sgf SG

I believe all are told to capture alive if possible but if you have to kill, you have to kill.

chanjyj SG

I thought now still got PTT? So you mean STAR was formed from PTT? Question
And now got MRT troop somemore I think... mind boggling. I cannot figure which is what anymore.
