In process Hospitality service at ASB
Kimberly and 3 SAI Battalion
has been added to those services
already established in previous
years. The biggest cause is the
delay in the establishment of
structures.
In process 605 members have received
training at the Centurion Technical
College.
Rm10 has been earmarked to
be spent in FY 2008/09 on the
upgrade of the LWTs to create
a suitable environment for the
functioning of TSC personnel.
All processes with PWD have
been concluded in FY 2007/08.
Loss of skilled personnel and
insufficient funds.
The SA Army closed down 63 Area Territorial Reserve (ATR) units and two Group Headquarters. A total
of 233 members were transferred from the SA Army to the SAPS with effect from 30 December 2007.
All ATR deployments for Operation STIPPER (rural safeguarding) ceased on 15 March 2008. The 24
companies for Operation INTEXO (borderline control) were scaled down to 18 companies and will be
further reduced to nine in the next financial year, according to plan. By all indications, the SA Army will
adhere to its objective in terms of closing down the Area Defence capability and will hand over the function
to the SAPS in 2009 as planned.
