Acknowledge Your Mobilisation Message

Upon receiving the Manning notification, you need to acknowledge the message through any of the following means:

• Via the ‘ICT and Manning’ eService on OneNS

• SMS

• Broadcasting and Interactive Voice Response System (BIVRS)

Once you have acknowledged your Mobilisation message, report to your Mobilisation Centre immediately with your personal equipment, such as your helmet, Load Bearing Vest (LBV) and field pack.

Depending on your unit’s SOP, the mobilisation centre’s contact number could be sent to you via SMS once you have acknowledged the mobilisation message. You should contact the mobilisation centre or your immediate commander for any clarification related to your mobilisation.

Full Pack Items

Every unit has its own packing list. Attend your unit's mobilisation briefing to get the exact list for your unit.

The table below shows a sample packing list to guide you.

Note: Items marked with * will be issued to you when you arrive at camp (during in-processing). You do not need to bring these yourself.

Packs 0 to 6 must be ready for a Field Pack inspection. Packs 7 to 10 are only needed based on your unit's profile and Mission Essential Task (MET) — meaning the specific tasks your unit is assigned to carry out.
