Analysis of Singapore's military strength How many active troops are there in Singapore?
1956 After Singapore became independent from Malaysia, Lee Kuan Yew sent a request to Israel to help with the construction, because Israel and Singapore have the same characteristics. Singapore's armed forces are composed of three parts: regular troops, active soldiers and war-ready soldiers. The regular army is a professional soldier who has been in the army all the year round, and the active servicemen refer to people between the ages of 16 and 20 who have only served for two years. Commending the army means that they retired from County No.1 Middle School and went back to the barracks for a certain period of training every once in a while, so that they could mobilize the reserve army in a short time. The supreme commander of their armed forces is the President of Singapore, and the Singapore army is divided into three armed forces.

Its total strength is more than 7 1600, and it is composed of about 50,000 army divisions. Each division has two infantry brigades, a mechanized brigade, a reconnaissance battalion, an artillery battalion, an anti-aircraft gun battalion and an engineering battalion. In addition, there is a rapid response division, which has three infantry brigades and one mechanized brigade. Their navy has 9000 people.

Singapore has a small land area and no strategic depth. A large number of troops cannot be stationed in overseas bases, and they basically rent other people's bases. Their strategy and defense have three levels. The first level is to maintain and strengthen the joint defense of Malaysia, Britain, Australia and New Zealand, and promote economic cooperation among ASEAN countries. The third level supports the international security of the United Nations. For example, a big country enters Southeast Asia, such as the United States. He thinks that although the United States is very strong, Asia is too far for him and can effectively control other big countries. But they can maintain the area, which is the famous fish school strategy. In addition, they also have Singapore Armed Forces Military Training College, junior college, three intermediate colleges and one advanced college.
