DTCOM will be responsible for developing and delivering training for all DIS vocations, spanning the “full breadth” of a personnel’s career, from foundational to intermediate- and advanced-level expertise and leadership development, MINDEF said.<\/p>\n
It will comprise specialised training schools and units across the six domains, with more to be established progressively in 2027.<\/p>\n
Existing schools include the Imagery and Geospatial School, which trains personnel to produce intelligence products such as maps for SAF training and humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations.<\/p>\n
Another is the newly-launched Advanced School for Continuous Education and Development, a dedicated institution for continuous learning and professional development that provides “out-of-schoolhouse” learning pathways to support personnel’s growth throughout their careers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Among the schools planned for 2027 is the Intelligence Technology and Analysis School, which will train personnel to tap digital and artificial intelligence technologies to better identify emerging threats to Singapore.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A Joint Intelligence School will also be established to train intelligence professionals to assess security developments and their implications for Singapore, while strengthening their understanding of the broader strategic and operational environment.<\/p>\n
Beyond strengthening the DIS\u2019s capabilities, the new command will also contribute to the SAF\u2019s overall operational readiness, MINDEF said.<\/p>\n
Equipping DIS personnel with the expertise to operate in an increasingly complex digital environment will raise the service\u2019s ability to support the wider SAF in conducting integrated and effective operations, it added.<\/p>\n
DTCOM will also boost training and professional development for operationally ready national servicemen (NSmen), who play an important role in sustaining the DIS’s capabilities.<\/p>\n
“Through structured training and opportunities to deepen their competencies, the DIS\u2019s NSmen will be better equipped to keep pace with technological developments and adapt to evolving operational requirements,” the ministry said.<\/p>\n
This ensures that DIS personnel remain proficient in their respective roles and are better prepared to support the SAF’s operational needs, it added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
