Types of Basic Military Training
|
10-week Enhanced BMT
This course trains combat-fit commander-potential recruits in the basic military skills. These recruits usually go on to do Specialist or Officer courses to become commanders.
The Enhanced BMT has additional modules to train and select these recruits.For those who fail to achive the NAPFA test silver award, they are required to undergo a 6-week Physical Training Phase prior to the Enhanced BMT.
|
8-week Enhanced BMT
This course trains recruits meant for combat vocations such as those who will be assigned to units as signallers, combat medics and military policemen, etc after their BMTC.
The training is similar to that for Enhanced BMT; less the modules on training and selection of commanders. Similarly, those who fail to achieve the NAPFA test silver award will be required to attend a 6-week Physical Training Phase before attending the actual BMT.
|
7-week Modified BMT
This course trains recruits of lower medical fitness for assignment to selected service vocations after completing BMT. Training objectives and intensity are lower to reflect the lower combat fitness of this group of recruits.
|
16-week Obese BMT
The objective is to reduce weight of the obese recruits. More time is devoted to progressive physical training. Those who have the necessary capabilities will be selected for further leadership training in OCS or SISPEC.
|
1-week Induction Program
The objective of the induction program is to familiarise recruits with the organisation and culture of the SAF. This program is catered for recruits with serious medical conditions.
|
2-week & 8-week Women BMT
The 2 weeks course is for women in service vocation, while the 8 weeks course is for those in combat vocation.
