The Special Operations Task Force (SOTF, Chinese: 特别行动特遣部队, Malay: Pasukan Petugas Operasi Khas)[4] is a special operations command of the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) responsible for conducting special operations. The SOTF is composed of only highly-trained regular servicemen from the Army's Special Operations Force (SOF) under the Commandos formation and, the Navy's Special Warfare Group (SWG) under the Naval Diving Unit (NDU).
The primary role of SOTF is to combat terrorist threats that would harm Singaporean interests at home and overseas.[5][6] According to Colonel Benedict Lim, then Assistant Chief of General Staff (Operations), the SOTF is responsible for conducting counter-terrorism operations at the national level.[7]
