U.S. Navy Command in Singapore Renamed Naval Support Activity Singapore

30 November 2025

From Michelle Rienstra

SINGAPORE–– The U.S. Navy command in Singapore, formerly known as Singapore Area Coordinator (SAC), was officially renamed Naval Support Activity (NSA) Singapore. The change aligns the command with other installations under Commander, Navy Region Japan (CNRJ) and standardizes its name across the U.S. Navy enterprise.

The renaming is an administrative action to improve consistency and reduce confusion by removing the unique, legacy title of "Singapore Area Coordinator." It will have no impact on resources or the command's mission.

NSA Singapore's mission remains unchanged: to serve the fleet, empower the fighter, and support families throughout Singapore.

"Renaming this command as Naval Support Activity Singapore provides clarity and immediately communicates our function to everyone," said Capt. Silas L Bouyer II, commanding officer of NSA Singapore. "Our primary goal is to deliver the military's top-tier, customer-focused programs and services to the fleet, family, and fighter. This name change helps us better inform U.S. personnel, tenant commands, and families assigned to Singapore about the shore-based support that is here to enhance their quality of life."

The new name ensures that Sailors and families being assigned to Singapore understand the full spectrum of support services available to them, from logistics and security to housing and family programs.

The command remains steadfast in its commitment to its strong partnership with the Republic of Singapore. "Our cooperative relationship with our Singaporean hosts is a pillar of stability in this region," added Bouyer. "While our sign has changed, our dedication to our mission and our partnership has not. We look forward to continuing our excellent relationship as NSA Singapore."

Naval Support Activity (NSA) Singapore's mission is to serve the fleet, empower the fighter, and support families. NSA Singapore delivers the military's top-tier, customer-focused programs and services to the fleet, family, and fighter, whether they are stationed in or transiting through Singapore, ensuring they have the support needed to thrive.
