Fact Sheet: SAF Day 2026 Combined Rededication Ceremonies
1 July 2026
Background
The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) Day Combined Rededication Ceremonies (CRCs) have been held annually since 1 July 1987. This year’s CRCs, organised by civilian partner organisations on a voluntary basis, are held across four locations, namely Temasek Polytechnic, Marina Bay Financial Centre, Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and Suntec City Convention Centre. These organisers in turn invite their business partners as well as companies located in their zones to participate in the CRCs. The participants at these CRCs are Operationally Ready National Servicemen (NSmen), their employers and civilian colleagues.
At these ceremonies, NSmen reaffirm their pledge of loyalty and dedication to Singapore. To mark the significance of the occasion, a Minister will be invited to officiate at each of the four ceremonies. In addition, many other organisations also hold their own in-house rededication ceremonies to mark SAF Day.
