Abstract: As Singapore forges closer ties with the rest of the world, the security landscape becomes increasingly unpredictable. The multitude of threats taking turns to feature on stage—national, regional and global— demand different strategies from conventional warfare. The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) has pursued a broader operational strategy that incorporates Operations Other Than War (OOTW) into its agenda of war-fi ghting readiness. The kaleidoscope of conventional and non-conventional security challenges calls for a strategy for tomorrow—a strategy which provides broad coverage over all these challenges, and has the capacity to address the most immediate threats. It is thus necessary to invest in a robust readiness model and culture that will “respond swiftly and decisively” to any threat. The SAF is ripe for such an adaptive readiness strategy.
