Army Deployment Force: The Making of an ADF Trooper

[@2geek314]

Went up against them for one of our Battalion missions. Mad lads they are. Mad respect for them.

[@blaxerx]

ADF are real tough mofos. Humble and really top grade professional soldiers in our SAF. They train tough and real. No bs in their exercises. I'm glad that finally there is some media coverage on this unit to give them some recognition for their service, esp those veterans whom have left. It's not much compared to what they have gone through, but it's something at least. Always Ready.

[@kaharuddinmahmud7748]

@blaxer Yes they are I wasn't able to compete with them for a Golden or Silver Byonet as they were in my platoon during my spec course. Two of them in my platoon did their human relief exercise during the aceh tsunami. Very calm and modest gentlemen.

[@myrs4]

Is the GCC or Guards AIT part of ADF's route of advancement? I was from Guards, but did not know any guys from ADF to ask. I have seen a mix of CPLs and specs both tabbed and tabless, and wearing either Guards or Infantry collar badge. Like 4:31, that soldier already has a tab. Does it mean anything to suggest what his role is? Or his service history (e.g. previously was Guards NSF turned regular or Guards regular posted to ADF)??

[@bullymaguire6315]

the Ultimax 100 (SAW) that was shown in a slight glimpse of this video is still the seriously dated Mk. III version which jams way too often for it to be reliable for any form of operations. anyone knows when will the SAF start using the recent variants? Still, kudos to the ADF

[@johnwig285]

yah bro training is always the cock one bro, everytime ST Kinetics come check rifle they will separate, the worst ones give BMT, then units training, then regulars training, then the no problem ones all will nvr be used and stored separately until for war. Usually like that la

[@noproblematallmate]

When war starts, we will drive to camp in our slippers and receive our power ranger transformation kit all packed for us in boxes all new. Then fight the war and be home in 2 weeks.

[@therover65]

Weapons used for training are usually older than the men. That’s why they are in such poor condition. The Mk III is a very capable weapon as it has survived after army have replaced practically everything in its inventory from uniforms to vehicles. As mentioned by others, for real ops you’d be issued brand new weapons.

[@yantirahman6607]

Why does ot looks like the ADF FORCE is so small?

[@ConstantineJoseph]

Is this like the delta force type of unit? I hope their weapons will include more specific assault rifles like those with picattiny rails for sights that will work better for CQB than those standard Aug type optics.

[@johnwig285]

Not sure if we would equate it to Delta but it is a specialised infantry unit. Another specialised non-spec-ops infantry unit would be Guards, but that in particular consists of mostly 2-year conscripts, unlike this ADF which is mostly regulars who just signed on after conscription. They have HK16 and the modular/p-rail version of the SAR21 which they will be trained in later phases.

[@johnwig285]

Maybe a more accurate comparison would be equivalent to USMC infantrymen who went through Air Assault Course & maybe some form of small unit training?

[@zestforlearning7490]

its subjective , each have their own complexity. Of course we've heard of stories where people sign up for adf but couldn't complete cqc while for ranger course the passing rate is heck of a all time low so they really weed out quality for these units. As for commando they do have something special that requires a painful process to obtain . thus conclusion if you're train in cqc you'll definitely feel you went through the toughest , same for the rest. side note regulars from guards , commandos and other tough units do fluke the ranger course.

[@wongbo75]

Spotted a tactical mistake. Same as aiming from behind a wall or cover. You need to make sure u are using the correct ADS position. When ADS behind a balastic shield refer to 2:40. Standing to the right (from our view) does not give the shooter cover. Correct position for the shooter should be on the left or transit his rifle to his left shoulder. This will then provide meaningful protection against incoming rounds.

The training is definitely challenging, not too different when I went through the SAFINCOS training back in the early 80's. Back then, we were all tough dudes too, we had to be, as we were trained by some fanatical insane career soldiers in the singapore army. However, as tough the training as it seems to be, it will remain to be seen when real bullets start flying, artillery shells start raining down, when you seen your comrades in a army humvee gets blown up, whether these contemporary NSF soldiers will really stand and fight. today, most singaporeans , especially the new generation, enjoy a very easy affluent life. Singapore is economically and politically very stable, for the past decades. As compared with say the Israeli's , whose country is under a real constant threat of annihilation from surrounding muslim countries, they will fight as they have no choice. The same goes for Ukrainians, they fight because they do not have a choice. Singaporeans, the young men today, not so sure.
