The Singapore Armed Forces Best Unit Competition is an annual competition which confers awards of recognition to the most outstanding units of the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) in combat readiness, operational proficiency and administrative excellence. Besides encouraging the above, the award also seeks to promote esprit-de-corps and camaraderie among participating Army, Air Force and Navy units through friendly competition.
The assessment factors of the competition are:
Combat Proficiency Test
Marksmanship Test
Individual Physical Proficiency Test
Standard Obstacle Course
Unarmed Combat
Security
Manpower Matters
Logistics Readiness Inspection
Vehicle State
Training Safety
The competition was started for active SAF units in 1969, before being extended to the reservist units (now known as NS units) in 1993. These units are conferred their awards at the annual Singapore Armed Forces Day parade.
