The Singapore Armed Forces National Service Medal is an award conferred on a National Serviceman (NSman) of the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) who has completed an equivalent 10 years of active service. This is achieved by meaningfully and satisfactorily completed 7 High-Key In-Camp Trainings over 10 ORNS (Operationally Ready National Service) cycles.
Regular members of the SAF qualify for an equivalent medal, the Singapore Armed Forces Long Service and Good Conduct (10 Years) Medal.
