I'm Enlisted to this Camp,

6 Singapore Infantry Regiment

The only 24/7 deployed force, 6 SIR is a unit renowned for its courageous, strong and dedicated soldiers, ideally personified by the Spartans, the characters chosen to represent the unit. The Spartans was founded on 2 Apr 1968 and was based in Taman Jurong Camp and served under the command of 3 DIV and in the process building their reputation as tough and effective soldiers. In Jan 1995,6 SIR was placed under the command of HQ 10 SIB as part of 9 Division and the unit shifted to Selarang Camp. On 12 Jul 2004, the unit was transferred to the command of HQ 2 PDF and relocated to Maju Camp two months later. In Nov 2006, the unit officially turned operational, thus becoming the only Active Protection of Installation (POI) battalion in the army.

Bearing the motto of “Tough and Effective”, the Spartans strive to bring honour to the battalion. The unit is operationally ready and deployed 24/7. Indeed, it is well poised to rise up to all challenges.
