9SIR and it's draining deployments
It's been 4 days since the end of deployment, and I'm really glad it's over. I don't think I can reveal much regarding its operations but I believe this unit deserves more credit than it is given. 9SIR is under 2PDF, and we specialise in POI for civilian key installations i.e. Changi Airport and Jurong Island. This also means that we play a part in protecting Singapore's shores, 24/7. The POI duty lasts for a month, and the next one begins a few weeks after we end, and so on. There are also 4 rotations per duty, with 2 platoons on duty and the last platoon on off.
