| Department of Defence | | Appendix A | • Equipment Transfer to Foreign Recipients. The DOD transferred 88mm blank ammunition to the Umbutfo Swaziland Defence Force for utilising in gun salutes for visiting heads of state. Fifteen containers were also transferred to the DRC Armed Forces for the safe storage of weapons. • African Standby Force. There were no changes in terms of the RSA contribution in force structure elements pledges to South African Development Community Brigade (SADC BRIG). As part of the road map to operationalise the SADC BRIG, three exercises were planned and presented to SADC Chiefs of Defence in Angola. All three exercises were recommended by the Ministers of Defence and Chiefs of Defence Forces, and later approved by the Heads of State/Government during the SADC Summit in the RSA, in August 2008. Thus, the map exercise (Exercise GOLFINHO) took place in Angola in February 2009, with the planned command post exercise scheduled to take place in Mozambique in April 2009, and the eld training exercise in the RSA in September 2009. While the SADCBRIG is in a process of being operationalised, the SADC Heads of State/ Government considered deploying a SADC Military assessment team to Eastern DRC, to assess possible options to help alleviate the humanitarian crises and suffering experienced by the Congolese nationals in the region. Two work sessions were conducted under the auspices of the African Union Peace and Security Council. The rst session was conducted in East Africa and the second in SADC with regard to developing the concept for an African Standby Force rapid deployment capability. Specic Defence Diplomacy Actions The Africa Aerospace and Defence Exhibition 2008 (AAD), presented from 17 to 21 September 2008, was by all accounts viewed as extremely successful. AAD had a number of aims of which enhancing defence diplomacy is but one element. Sixty-seven delegations from foreign defence forces were hosted by the Minister and Deputy Minister of Defence and the DOD’s Top Management. They included 10 Ministers of Defence, four Deputy Ministers of Defence, 10 Secretaries for Defence, 11 Chiefs of Defence Forces, two Army Chiefs, 20 Air Force Chiefs, three Navy Chiefs and seven Surgeon-Generals. Of the total delegations, 43 were from African countries. The delegations, their individual and combined programmes and their allocated military liaison teams were managed and co-ordinated by a dedicated DFR team, supported by allocated members of the Services. Positive feedback was received from various stakeholders who had a vested interest in the presence of these delegations, validating the efforts of the coordinating committee over a six-month period prior to the event. Post-Conict Reconstruction. Over the reporting period, the DOD deployed in the following postconict reconstruction situations: Operation TEUTONIC (DRC). A South African detachment assisting with integration and training was deployed to render assistance to the DRC Armed Forces with the integration and registration process. Fighting in the Eastern DRC has frequently delayed the completion of the integration process. The South African Military Health Service (SAMHS) has contributed to this integration effort through the facilitation of teambuilding and cohesion exercises, by especially social workers and psychology ofcers. Operation VIMBEZELA (Central African Republic). A contingent deployed to render assistance with the refurbishing of infrastructure at training bases, providing equipment and training members of the Armed Forces of the Central African Republic. The Operation is due for completion by 2010. Defence Intelligence Training. As a contribution to post-WWconict and reconstruction, Defence Intelligence members were involved in post-conict reconstruction and training projects in various countries in Africa. Training Trainers. In 2009, a new course – Intelligence Training of the Trainers of SADC member states – was presented at the College for Education Technology. The course is designed to empower the course members to train their own members in intelligence- related matters. Annual Report FY 2008 - 2009 182
| Department of Defence | Appendix B Foreign Aid Assistance to the DOD for FY 2008/09 The table below indicates foreign aid assistance to the DOD for FY 2008/09.
