This was in recognition of their contributions towards the SAF's overseas operations in Afghanistan and Timor-Leste.
With the Afghan National Security Forces on track to progressively take over full security responsibilities for Afghanistan from the International Security Assistance Force, Dr Ng announced during the ceremony that the SAF will be concluding its deployments in Afghanistan in June 2013.
He also announced that the SAF had completed its contributions towards the United Nations Integrated Mission in Timor-Leste in December 2012, as the UN mandate for the Mission had ended.
The medal recipients comprised 52 personnel who were deployed to Afghanistan as part of Singapore's contribution to the multinational stabilisation and reconstruction efforts there, as well as two officers who were deployed in Timor-Leste as Staff Officers in the United Nations mission headquarters.
The medal recipients who were deployed to Afghanistan include a ten-man team of Military Institutional Trainers who trained the Afghan National Army (ANA) at the Kabul Military Training Centre Artillery School; two five-man teams of Military Institutional Trainers who partnered the Australian Defence Force in Oruzgan to train ANA commanders to detect and identify Improvised Explosive Devices; and two six-man Imagery Analysis Teams who provided imagery interpretation and analysis support in Oruzgan.
