The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) commemorated SAF Day at a parade officiated by President Tharman Shanmugaratnam at SAFTI Military Institute (SAFTI MI) this evening. More than 2,000 SAF Operationally Ready National Servicemen (NSmen), Full-time National Servicemen and Regulars attended the parade.

409 Operationally Ready National Servicemen (NSmen) from 339 companies and organisations, and their employers gathered for the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) Day Combined Rededication Ceremonies (CRCs) held at five locations around Singapore this morning to reaffirm their commitment to the defence of Singapore.

A 30 year old Operationally Ready National Serviceman collapsed outside Maju Camp on 30 Jun 2025. He had earlier completed a National Service Fitness Improvement Training (NS FIT) session conducted between 1850hrs and 2000hrs at Maju Fitness Conditioning Centre (FCC), and he was cleared to leave after reporting to the fitness instructors that he felt well. He booked out of Maju Camp at 2011hrs.

The Singapore Army's 1st Commando Battalion (1 Cdo Bn), the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN)'s RSS Indomitable and the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF)'s 142 Squadron (SQN) have clinched the Best Combat Unit, Best Maritime Security Unit and Best Fighter Squadron awards respectively in this year's Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) Best Unit Competition. In total, 18 active units and 12 National Service (NS) units are recognised for their outstanding achievements in their respective formations. President Tharman Shanmugaratnam and Minister for Defence Mr Chan Chun Sing will present the awards to the winners at the SAF Day Parade on 1 July 2025 at the SAFTI Military Institute.
