African Special Forces Brigade
THE SOUTH AFRICAN
SPECIAL FORCES BRIGADE
Amongst the South African
security forces, there is a small band of very
special people. Selected from thousands
of applicants, these volunteers are highly trained,
exceedingly fit and a totally committed group
of true professionals.
They are expected to execute
operations under widely varying circumstances
and in conditions that often seem humanly impossible
to cope with.
These unsung heroes, who
quietly fulfill their chosen profession are
members of the South African Special Forces
Brigade.
BACKGROUND
The combined experience
of the old South African "Recces"
and the specialist groupings of the other integrated
forces, brought the development of new tactics
and equipment, bushcraft and survival skills
for the African bush, and a unique approach
to long-range independent missions.
A trademark of the South
African Special Forces is the long-term deployment
of small groups of men over vast distances in
the African bush; strategic operations during
which special tactics, survival skills and the
ability to endure hardships are tested to the
full.
With the experience of many
years of unconventional warfare and special
operations, the South African Special Forces
Brigade faces the future in the knowledge that
it is the best in Africa - a force to be reckoned
with!
