Stop jerkin him around Ryan. ADF stands for Army Developmental Force. They are the guys who go chiong sua with the prototype and trial test weapons and equipment and then give feedback about them.

Well, supposedly ADF is one of those hush hush kinda units. Not surprising due to the kinda prototype technology they get their hands on.

i just know they're all made up of regulars
correct me if i'm wrong.. -
Dude, Stop perpetuating myths. It is not a "Hush Hush" unit. Its just quite new.
It is a force that is made up of regular infantry/guards/Cdo soldiers. It even has regular "men" in it!!! These men however, are quite a sad breed (i heard) coz the sign a (approx.) 4 years contract that will in most cases not be renewed. If they want to sign on a spec later, they need to go to SISPEC.
Since it is made up of regulars, it is the unit that will usually be deployed for real ops. Eg. Peace keeping. It is also for the same reason that they are the ones that are issued with the goodies. Eg. they were using the LBVs for quite a while already.
Another thing about ADF is that they tend to more than thier fair share of discipline problems because of, as you can imagine, the type of ppl they attract. (IE sign on in infantry as men for what will in the most cases be a short term - almost mercenary type people). Behaviour wise, those that i have come across has this elite mentality that i personally find very irritating.
Hoever, i do think that the ADF is a good idea and makes a valuable asset to the SAF. If only they can rein in their soldiers... -
Well, as long as their soldiers are willing and gung-ho enough to go on missions, I would say that they are valuable to us already.Originally posted by lwflee:Dude, Stop perpetuating myths. It is not a "Hush Hush" unit. Its just quite new.

That would explain the CPL I saw in No.3 with a UN service medal in their coy office one day.I was quite confused by it until my friend told me ADF does have regular "men".Originally posted by Gordonator:yes u are correct. all regulars, some sign on as man. -
The actual term is A21DF - Army 21 Developmental Force. As of the time I left service, there were only 3 active companies with plans for more and are mostly for overseas/UN deployments.
Not all members are as gung-ho as you think. There are cases of people in the initial batch that refused to go for the E. Timor deployment. -

Gotta admit that they are enlistees and not everyone is cut out for military service.Originally posted by wuming78: even better than those gu niangs who start to complain about every little thing before they even enlist. -
im sure.Originally posted by LazerLordz:Gotta admit that they are enlistees and not everyone is cut out for military service.
but how a person behaves in the face of challenges and difficulties (such as ns, if it happens to be either a challenge or a difficulty to him) tells alot about him. -

get ready to crawl all the time, they dont believe much in the four-second rule. they even crawl all the way to clear out trenches in coy/platoon objectives.
