Abstract: Singapore’s current enlistees are better educated, more adaptive and learn faster. they are also more acquainted with social media and technology. compared to their predecessors, these soldiers’ characteristics, requirements and expectations are vastly different. current junior ranks will eventually take over as senior commanders within the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF). each generation has its own unique characteristics with their strengths and shortfalls. With proper training and engagement, generation Y’s unique qualities can be harnessed to build an effective and committed workforce for the future SAF. the current leadership can achieve this by understanding this generation’s unique characteristics through better engagement rather than stifling their natural talents. Keywords: Leadership; Strategies; Future Planning; Generation Y
