The 'Singapore Command and Staff College' (SCSC) is one of five officer schools of the
SAFTI Military Institute of the
Singapore Armed Forces (SAF). The inaugural Command and Staff Course commenced in 1969 and the College was officially opened in February 1970 by the
Prime Minister of Singapore,
Lee Kuan Yew, at its birth place at
Fort Canning. After relocating to
Marina Hill in the seventies and
Seletar Camp in the eighties, it finally moved into its present premises in SAFTI in 1995.
The College conducts the Command and Staff Course (CSC) for career officers and the National Service Command and Staff Course (NSCSC) for selected reserve officers who have demonstrated potential for higher command and staff appointments in the SAF.
