Operationally Ready NSmen are a vital part of the SAF and forms the core fighting force. Each year, you will be called up for in-camp-training for two to three weeks to maintain your individual proficiency as well as to build unit cohesion. Such training ensures the highest level of operational readiness in the SAF. From 1 Apr 06, you need to serve only 10 years of ICT. You will also be activated regularly for mobilisation exercises.
To ensure that NSmen can strike a balance between the competing demands of NS duties, family and work, you will be called up for no longer than the period required to meet the training objectives. While NSmen can be called up for a maximum of 40 days of NS in a work year, in practice, an NSman is generally called up for not more than 14 days for local training, or 21 days for overseas training in your high-key training year. MINDEF has also restricted the number of times an NSman can be called up for NS duties to a maximum of three times per work year and ensure that notices for call ups are also provided at least 6 months in advance of the training commencement date.
