The 2 People's Defence Force
|
Independence was thrust upon Singapore in 1965 and the People's Defence Force epitomized our nation's resolve to take charge of our own defence. The SAF today is a capable and ready force in which 2nd People's Defence Force (2 PDF) plays an important role in the defence and security of our homeland. In many ways, 2 PDF has mirrored the progress of SAF; and has grown in terms of our stature, our responsibilities, and most importantly, the ability and spirit of our people.

With emergence of widespread global terrorism altering the security landscape, 2 PDF has embarked on our own transformation journey; to be ready and capable of conducting a spectrum of operations to protect our national interests and well-being of our citizens.
Today 2 PDF is responsible for the 24/7 protection of key installations and for coordinating military resources to assist Homefront agencies in civil emergencies, with the HQ manned round the clock to provide an effective and efficient response to incidents island-wide.

Our 2 PDF home is built on a strong foundation of values, made up of committed members, who possess our 3 key P.D.F. attributes; namely the Passion for the job, to Dare to try to achieve beyond boundaries and the Fortitude to see it through. In these uncertain times, 2 PDF is well-poised to defend our nation and will continue to remain vigilant and resolute in doing so.
Steadfast We Stand and Steadfast We Will Deliver.
