Defence Collective Singapore: Total Defence day 2026

Singapore has celebrated SG60 and Total Defence has stood strong for over 40 years. We have weathered major challenges as a nation — but the threats we face today are often the ones that slip into everyday life. Total Defence 26 Programme is a mass, situation-based Total Defence Day programme designed to show students that TD is not only about responding to national crises, but it also lives in our daily actions. In each scenario, students must think fast, support one another, and put Total Defence into action — not in theory, but in real, relatable challenges.
