SAF at checkpoints/vital installations
-
We all know that the SAF is actively participating in installation protection at places like Jurong Island,Changi Airport etc.and they do so hand-in-hand with the SPF.So who will issue the directives if a contact is made etc.?will it result in inter-service rivalary?

things like command and control, chain of command and rules of engagement is suppose to be ironed out before the troops actually deployed....
it is a long time since sep 11 2001. i am sure the peronnel involved had gone through countless drills... and scenario planning. -

Agreed. These should have been ironed out on paper even before the troops are trained for such activties...Originally posted by spencer99:things like command and control, chain of command and rules of engagement is suppose to be ironed out before the troops actually deployed....

The Posse Comitatus Act prevents US Troops from deploying in their own soil.... unless the president waivers the act during a time of crisis.Originally posted by sgboy2004:the deployment of troops for civilian purpose???

Last time I checked US senate does not have dominion over Republic of Singapore.
Some here may sound sharp quoting chapter and verse US federal law but can't see relevance to defence of Sgp.
While I am pro-US; am not rabid support of another country's values being imposed upon another soverign nation. -
Well said.The Posse Comitatus Act is in place for their own unique needs because they have a huge standing National Guard in existence.Originally posted by baer:Last time I check US senate does not have dominion over Republic of Singapore.

By looking at it objectively, it's the same as our SOF not operating as POI in key installations.Because we have dedicated troops to do the job. -
