The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) will be sending about 50 to 60 personnel to take part in the multinational coalition efforts to combat the terrorist threat from the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen said.
Planning and liaison officers have already made their way to the United States Central Command to get "a sense what the mission's requirements are".
SAF will now "synchronise" where its help is most needed.
"I would say that the reaction to our involvement is a positive one. They know that as we did in Afghanistan, we contributed very positively, by our KC-135 refuelling tankers as well as our imagery analysts," said Dr Ng.
"So coalition partners have welcomed our involvement because they expressed the opinion that we have helped previously and they look forward to our professional input."
