The Special Operations Task Force are the sharpest end of the Singapore Armed Forces’ (SAF) troops and they are called upon to get the job done during critical situations and under extreme conditions.
In Episode 1 of #UncommonGrit, over 100 soldiers from various SAF units arrive at the Special Forces Leadership School at Pasir Ris Camp to take part in the two-week Joint Special Forces Selection which comprises a battery of tests to see if they have what it takes, both physically and mentally, to go on to the #SpecialForces Qualification Course.
🎥 Stay tuned for upcoming episodes every Thursday at 8pm!

​@@jianxiongRaven SF qualification course was opposite our bunk. But the SOF have their "camp" within hendon camp. Opaque fencing and heaviliy guarded, even loitering nearby they will ask you to f**k off through the PA system. Stayed there for 1.5 years, we still dont know what's inside. They did a pretty good job at hiding everything from the NSFs

I witnessed first hand the entire course and training these men went through, some of it close to inhumane. At the end of it, you only get a handful of candidates that make it and even then, they might choose to return to NDU or wherever they came from because it's too rigorous and tiring to keep up at this level. All I can say is they deserve every ounce of respect from our nation.

Unfortunately all CDO and NDU regulars MUST be Special Forces qualified to carry on their contract. So the regulars will finish the Q course but not remain on the teams. Such a career move will almost guarantee the end of your contract, so regulars in these units are under alot of pressure.

Fascinating. I'm Malaysian. My understanding is this: SOTF : tier 1 comparable to delta force, devgru and etc. NDU, red berets: tier 2 comparable to seals and green berets. Uniquely SG has the Guards, comparable to our 10th para which is in turn modelled after the British parachute regiment, not considered as special ops. Guess SG's military model is a mixture of both.

@@johnwong381 that's the thing that got me confused with the US and SG. Two elite formations which kinda overlap; commandos vs guards in SG, 75th rangers vs 82nd Airborne in the US. Seems that the kind of missions these formations go through are about the same. From my POV, SG Guards and Commandos kinda overlap and they even compete against each other in annual competitions. The British are clear cut: 1. Special forces: SBS, SAS and SRR. 2. Elite: Parachute regiment, royal marines and RAF regiment. The US tier categories which SG tries to emulate seems like another 'special' within special forces.

As a Singaporean, Delta, Devgru,SAS, NZ-SAS, SASR ( australia) are Tier-1. You can watch NzSAS and SASR selection in youtube. They use the term “Silent Running”, where cadre don’t shout at you. This is a big mind fuck and will cast many doubts in your mind during selection.The SOTF selection reminds me abit of Green Beret, Seal selection, whereby instructors scream at you. The screaming maybe a motivating factor for some.

Even tier 1 units? There are several tier 1 units. SAS, CAG, Devgru, 24th STS, RRC, SOG, HRT... Tier 1 units followed up by their budget, mission and training. Budget we are far behind. Tier 1 unit operators at least cost tens of millions of dollars to train a single operator. Mission too. We are limited by the mission because it includes clandestine operations and assassination to bring a whole Country's Government down if needed to. Training, not too sure because it is classified. Yes we are really far behind in terms of budget and mission. Even Korean Special Operations, Malaysian GGK Commandos, Philippines Special Operation aren't even tier 1.

When I was in SCS during CAT term, I rmb the army SM, who had done both local and US ranger course, asked everyone in the hall which ranger course was harder. Everyone shouted "US", to which he corrected us by saying local ranger course is harder. Part of the reason was that their meals generally were bigger (because ang moh bigger size usually need to eat more) compared to local range course and that the weather wasn't as bad as SG. He also said local ranger course was a bigger mind fuck than the US one.

Im sure both are equally tough in their own ways. The US Ranger Course looks somewhat like our commando's High Confidence Course. Our Ranger Course is a 69 day back-to-back mission-based course. Bragging rights apart, most Singapore Rangers are alr in a Tier 2 unit e.g. commandos, NDU. It's like how the NDU divers are alr combat divers but they go to US Navy Seal Training Center to go thru BUD/S and earn the Trident.

@@HypertronicTeddy not really, this one is SF Qualification course, not the main SF course where u grad as SF. It's like how Navy SEALs candidates go thru selection school first before even going to BUD/S.

Why not? If he meets the criteria then it should be ok. It’s not bound to just commandos or NDU as there are other better soldiers who don’t get the opportunity to be assign in either units. As for the rank, he probably is signing on if he gets selected?
