Special Operations Force (Singapore)
The Special Operations Force (SOF) is the Republic's Army Special Forces composed of highly trained elite soldiers within the Singapore Armed Forces Commando Formation and an essential component of the joint Special Forces unit Special Operations Task Force (SOTF). According to the Principles of Special Forces, the Republic's Special Forces thrive on their exceptional qualities and advanced skills, consisting highly adaptive individuals who are independent and can operate independently, and the Republic's Special Forces soldiers cannot be mass-produced and must be managed carefully.
Other than their Commando duties and specialisations as cross-trained Signallers, Medics, Weapons Specialists, Demolitions Experts, Snipers and Boatmen, the Republic's Army Special Forces soldiers also specialises in operations such as direct action, counter-terrorism, hostage rescue, special reconnaissance as well as special operations. It is also one of the few units in the Singapore Armed Forces to be trained in high-altitude military parachuting, military freefall and combat diving. The SOF also trains with the Republic's domestic home agencies and renowned global elite Special Forces partners such as the United States Army's Army Special Forces, Delta Force, United States Navy's Navy SEALs and Naval Special Warfare Development Group, French Marine Commandos, Australian Special Air Service regiment and New Zealand Special Air Service regiment.
==History==
On 27 September 1972, a flight engineer aboard Olympic Airlines Flight 472 accidentally activated a hijack alarm. The flight, which had 31 passengers and 11 crew members on board, took off from Sydney, Australia at 1030 hours SST and was heading towards Paya Lebar Airport in Singapore. The Australian authorities were not informed of the situation until four hours later. Following a flurry of conflicting reports, Australia's Civil Aviation Safety Authority warned Paya Lebar Airport to be prepared for a possible hijack. Flight 274 landed at its destination at 1825 hours SST and was immediately surrounded by the police before the Singapore authorities could confirm that it was a false alarm. The incident highlighted the lack of special forces trained and equipped to deal with a hijack or hostage situation in Singapore. This led to the creation of the SOF in 1985 as a unit specially tasked with dealing with such situations.
