释义

名词

新加坡武装部队（Singapore Armed Forces）的军士 （specialists） 军阶，排序在上士长 （Staff Sergeant）之下。

DEFINITION

Noun

Refers to one of the specialists’ ranks in the Singapore Armed Forces, which is positioned below the Staff Sergeant.

由来
  • 上士是正规和全职国民服役军人通用的新加坡法定军阶之一。
  • 1965 年新加坡建立军队时，军士军阶只分上士、中士（Corporal）和下士（Lance Corporal）。
  • 1992 年 2 月 13 日，时任国防部长（Minister of Defence）的杨林丰博士公布重组非军官军阶制度。在新的制度下，“上士”（Sergeant）从 1992 年 7 月 1 日起增修为“一级上士”（First Sergeant）、“二级上士”（Second Sergeant）和 “三级上士”（Third Sergeant），以提高正规军人的职业展望。
ETYMOLOGY
  • Sergeant is one of the general statutory military ranks for regular and full-time national servicemen in Singapore.
  •  When Singapore set up its military in 1965, the rank of non-commissioned officers was divided only into Sergeant, Corporal and Lance Corporal.
  • On 13 February 1992, then Minister of Defence Dr. Yeo Ning Hong announced the reorganisation of the military ranking system for non-commissioned officers. Under the new system, the Sergeant rank was revised on 1 July 1992 to comprise First Sergeant, Second Sergeant and Third Sergeant in a bid to improve career prospects of the regular servicemen.
