North Region, Singapore
The North Region of Singapore is one of the five regions in the city-state. The region is the second largest region in terms of land area, and has a population of 582,330.

It was established in 1968 as the Singapore Air Defence Command (SADC) before renaming to its current name in 1975.

As of 2021, the RSAF uses four air bases domestically, most notably at Paya Lebar and Tengah, as well as at civil airports such as Changi and Seletar.
