Year

1997

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.
