There are a total of nine Gurkha Guard companies commanded by local and British officers.
As a British colonial import, the first contingent commander was a British officer, and up to today, it remains the only military or police unit in Singapore to be headed by a British officer seconded from the British Army.

The current commander is Assistant Commissioner Ross Forman.
The contingent also has its own Gurkha Band Contingent, the Gurkha Contingent Pipes and Drums Platoon, which is part of the Singapore Police Force Band.
The Gurkha Contingent Pipes and drums platoon is commanded by P&D OIC Inspector Prem Kumar Rai.

In addition, the Gurkha Contingent has three tactical forces, in which they are called the Special Action Group, the Special Guard and Counter-Terrorist Unit and the new Special Tactical Unit.
The Gurkha Special Action Group was first seen taking part in Exercise Northstar VII as they planned and executed an infiltration of the Marriott Hotel on Orchard Road, subduing two "terrorists" and rescuing the "hostages."

The new Special Tactical Unit took part in Exercise Northstar 10 as they responded to a suicide bombing that "killed" the passengers nearby and the Gurkha, along with some members of the People's Defence Force and airport police officers, disabled the "gunmen" and rescued a "hostage" in Changi Airport Terminal 3.
