For every successful Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) event or exercise, there is a team of dedicated National Servicemen working tirelessly in the background to provide essential support services.<\/p>

Three Corporate Services Hub (CSH) National Servicemen share with us what their vocations mean to them, and how they support SCDF frontliners<\/a>.<\/p>

Meet SGT1 Lioh Yong Hao and LCP Raden Zulfiqkar Bin Zulkifri, who are both with CSH (West), and SGT1 Aloysius Ng who serves with CSH (East). Earlier in March, they supported Exercise Northstar XI<\/em><\/a> in their capacities as a supply and operations assistant (SGT1 Lioh), an info-communications assistant (LCP Raden) and a provost officer (SGT1 Ng).<\/p>

The massive exercise \u2013 which simulated a terrorist attack on Jurong Island \u2013 involved over 300 personnel from multiple agencies including the SCDF, Singapore Police Force, and Singapore Armed Forces, as well as other public and private stakeholders like the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore, the Ministry of Health, ExxonMobil and Keppel Infrastructure.<\/p>

\u201cIn addition to working closely with the other stakeholders, our SCDF colleagues needed to be on-site for long hours to prepare and execute the exercise,\u201d explains SGT1 Lioh. \u201cBe it exercise equipment, refreshments or transportation needs, we support our frontliners behind the scenes so that they can focus on the mission.\u201d<\/p>

During Exercise<\/em> Northstar XI<\/em>, SGT1 Ng and his team were asked to simulate a Tactical HQ scenario where command vehicles were deployed. \u201cWe are responsible for safeguarding the command vehicles, which is of critical importance to overall command and control of SCDF\u2019s frontline operations during a major incident,\u201d he describes.<\/p>

\u00a0LCP Raden, whose day-to-day tasks include routine checks, maintenance of info-comms<\/a> equipment and attending to info-comm and technological issues, notes that such major exercises can require significant technical and communications support.<\/p>

\u201cDuring these major events, our team had to ensure that all communications channels between the event organisers and working party ran smoothly,\u201d he said.<\/p>

Their support is not limited to large exercises. During recruit enlistments, graduation parades and the National Day Parade (NDP), LCP Raden and his team can be found setting up portable mixing consoles, speakers and other audio and visual equipment: \u201cFor events such as parades and ceremonies, we have to be very alert to visual and audio cues to ensure that the music is in sync with certain event sequences. This requires quite a fair bit of concentration and situational awareness,\u201d he says.<\/p>

The 2022 NDP was also a busy occasion for SGT1 Ng: \u201cDuring the NDP, my team and I were stationed at Kallang Fire Station to prepare the Command Vehicles for a Tactical HQ deployment, in case there was a major emergency. After securing a perimeter for the command post, we remained on high alert to safeguard all personnel and equipment on site.\u201d<\/p>

Adds LCP Raden: \u201cI always thought that CSH only handles routine logistics and communications services that are far removed from other SCDF operations. However, I soon realised that all departments really need to work closely together to conduct our mission \u2014 protecting lives and property \u2014 effectively.\u201d<\/p>
