Similar to today, NSFs will be deployed to a vocation based on suitability, skills, interests, and the operational requirements of SAF.

Unlike the PES status that grouped NSFs into broad medical categories, the refreshed MCS allows for more precise medical characterisation. Hence, NSFs may now be eligible for more vocations based on their specific medical exemptions, as well as their functional abilities.

NSFs will only be deployed to vocations that they are medically assessed to be suited for.
