The 911 terrorist attacks in the United States in 2001 shook the world and changed the modus operandi of security forces around the world. The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) was no exception; it underwent a paradigm shift, from peacetime preparedness to an in-between: a new term called Operation Other than War (OOTW). This case examines how then-SAF Major (MAJ) Koh Cheng Boon, a newly minted Commanding Officer of the Field Defence Squadron (CO FDS) at Paya Lebar Airbase (PLAB), dealt with this black swan event as a leader and commander, as well as how this surge in operational tempo transformed his life, his perspective as a professional soldier, leader and commander. As he connected the dots between leadership theories and best practices for the aspiring officers attending his lessons on Leadership in Context, he reflected on his command tour as CO FDS, his first and most challenging command tour. How did he cope during this arduous and challenging time? What are the leadership qualities required, and that he had displayed, during crisis situations? How do challenges hone and reflect our leadership competencies? How may we handle black swan events that come our way?
