The RSAF introduced the Combat-Technical scheme, cross-training personnel in combat and technical roles to boost skills and career growth.
The Combat-Technical scheme was unveiled in January 1997 as part of a larger development plan for Warrant Officers and Specialists in the SAF. Under the scheme, combatants were cross-trained and deployed in both their combat and related technical vocations for greater job and upgrading opportunities.


Combat Technicians are responsible for the maintenance and servicing of the sophisticated equipment used by Air Defence Systems Division.
