Where to buy SAF combat ration, SAF helmet, SAF uniform, SAF ID tag, SAF boots and other SAF items?

You can buy most of the SAF items you require for your National Service (NS) or In-Camp Trainings (ICT, colloquially known as reservist) through Lifestylemart or other retail shops.

Lifestylemart or eMart, operated by ST logistics is the official channel to purchase SAF items. It is the only place where you can utilise your eMart credits, on top of other payment methods such as credit cards, DBS Paylah or cash. Find out the list of items sold at eMart and items not sold at eMart. But if you are fine with paying by cash or credit card, some of these items can also be bought via Lazada.

What are the controlled SAF items that are not sold in eMart?

While most of the SAF items can be bought from eMarts in camp, SAFRA Punggol or The Chevrons (Note: eMart at SAFRA Mount Faber has ceased operations since 1 April 2020), items relating to the iLBV / LBS, helmets, and weapons are controlled items. These are some of the items that need to be requested from your CQ, RQ, unit or formation:

Ammo pouch
Granade pouch
Armour plate pouch
Rear pouch (for Goretex)
Goretex
Goggle

You can get these items from the eMart:

iLBV / LBS Rank holder
Water bottle pouch
Helmet cover

For those items that are not sold in eMarts, we learnt from unverified sources that they could be found at Army Market on Beach Road or at the army related shops in Pasir Ris. We are unsure about the authenticity of this information or if the act of selling these controlled items are legal.
