Andrew’s Road, for the first time in the nation’s history. On 9 August 1969, the republic was enthralled as 18 AMX-13 tanks rumbled down St. A year later, the first armour tank unit, 40 SAB (now known as 40 SAR), was formed. Today, the black beret is a unifying headdress given to all soldiers serving in the Armour Formation.Īiming to possess a modern and effective armoured force, the first Armour unit, 41 SAB (now known as 41 SAR), was formed at Keat Hong Camp in 1968. Later, the black beret was also chosen independently as the official headdress by the British and German armoured foces. The history of the black beret as a symbol of Armour dates back to 1917 when it was first used by the French tankmen of World War I. This familial spirit of Armour is summed up in our iconic black beret. This closely knitted formation of today is the result of decades spent practising a people-oriented leadership style, giving rise to our nickname of the "Armour Family". Through the years, Armour has been distinguished by our exceptionally strong esprit de corps. The epitome of man and machine working together in one spirit, Armour is the decisive force of Our Army. We maintain a high state of operational readiness through the use of advanced manoeuvre simulation systems, alongside the latest progressive and realistic training. Highly trained and motivated, they are our most potent assets.
Armour's assets include the upgraded LEOPARD 2SG Main Battle Tanks, the BIONIX Infantry Fighting Vehicles, and most importantly, our People. Ready to be deployed at a moment’s notice, Armour’s rapid manoeuvres punch through all defences, seizing ground to secure a swift and decisive victory. Armour brings the characteristics of Firepower, Mobility, Flexibility, Armour Protection and Shock Effect to the battlefield.
