South African Defence Force: The Citizen Force at War (1966-1989)
Loading...
Uploaded by Mr25Charlie on Oct 30, 2010
After completing their two years of military service, South African conscripts were alotted to the Citizen Force. Here they served for ten years, 60 days per year. The Citizen Force made up the bulk of the SADF's conventional forces and included first class fighting units such as the 1st Transvaal Scottish, the Rand Light Infantry or the Natal Carbineers. The units were deployed operationally during the border war (1966-1989). Up to 1990 the units experienced a reporting rate of over 100 percent, given that many men volunteered. After 1990 the reporting rate dropped dramatically as people realised that the war was finally over and the Government was preparing to hand power to the ANC. After 1994 most units were disbanded.
