The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) is the military component of the Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Singapore. It is one of the most capable, and well-equipped militaries in South-East Asia.
The SAF has three services: the Singapore Army, the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) and the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN). The SAF protects the interests, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Singapore from external threats.
While it relies heavily on a large pool of conscripts in the active and reserve forces, it has an approximate active strength of around 72,000 personnel and is capable of mobilising over a million reservists (also known as National Servicemen, or NSmen) in the event of national exigencies or a full-scale war.
