Singapore Armed Forces Parachute Team

Primarily responsible for organising display jumps and representing the Singapore Armed Forces in competitions, the team adopted the name "Red Lions" in 1996 as part of its identity.

In 2014, Third Warrant Officer Shirley Ng became the first female Red Lion parachutist to jump at the National Day Parade in Singapore.

The basic qualification for a display jumper is a minimum of 500 jumps, with its members drawn only from amongst the Commandos and the Naval Diving Unit as they are the only formations which are operationally trained in military free-fall.

[1] Attention paid towards training safety has resulted in few incidents affecting team members, although a bad fall during a full-dress rehearsal for the 2005 National Day Parade by Master Sergeant Chua Koon San[4] raised concerns and speculation that the free-fall performances may be cancelled.

[5] On July 15, 2021, a Red Lion suffered a hard fall and was stretchered off after a test jump in Bishan in preparation for National Day in Heartlands.
