32 Battalion (SADF) tribute video
http://www.32battalion.net Known amongst Friend and Foe as "The Terrible Ones" (Os Terriveis), this reputation was derived from operational successes and from its inception in 1975 until it's disbandment it was the most feared Unit by it's foes in Angola and South West Africa, and accounted for more enemy losses than any other Unit of the South African Defence Force. 32-Battalion was probably the most controversial unit of the SADF and its story virtually the untold story of the SWA/ Namibian Border War - a war which took place against the back-drop of the Cold War and which was in fact anything but cold in Africa. The battalion, which also became known as the most successful counter insurgency unit of the SADF, was comprised mainly of former FNLA and other anti-communist fighters from Angola who had sworn allegiance to the South African government. Together with their South African officers, these troops forged a formidable battalion that became known as the best operational Battalion of the South African Defence Force -- if not one of the best in the world.

Operation Rachel - SADF - SAPS (Mozambique)
This video is from 'The Soldier's Friend' collection! At the end of its long conflict, Mozambique was left with large ... This video is from 'The Soldier's Friend' collection! At the end of its long conflict, Mozambique was left with large numbers of weapons, many of which were smuggled into South Africa by organised syndicates and sold to criminals. In Mozambique, the weapons disrupted rural safety and were a primary cause of violence. A crime combating operation was thus agreed between South Africa and Mozambique, which allowed the police services of the two countries to undertake joint operations aimed at locating and destroying arms caches within Mozambique territory. On 17 December 1999 the Council adopted an implementing Decision (1999/845/CFSP) of the Joint Action with a view to an EU contribution to combating the destabilising accumulation and uncontrolled spread of Small Arms and Light Weapons in Mozambique. With this decision the EU contributed to the location, collection and destruction of weapons in Mozambique through the joint cross-border operations between the South African Police and the Mozambique Police (Operation Rachel). The EU provided EUR 200 000 for the support of the South African Police Service, which was acting as an implementing agency, in the acquisition of fuel, air support, explosives and accessories as well as ration packs and daily allowances. The project was successfully completed during the first half of 2001. Operation Rachel was intelligence driven, i.e. information gathering about cache locations is followed by joint police operations, which destroy the weapons on site. It was initially funded by South Africa but donor funding later became available. Since its launch in August 1995 and up to December 2000, 12 operations were carried out. Initially, these were large-scale annual affairs but in 1999 strategy was changed due to financial constraints, and there was a switch to small-scale operations. Operation Rachel is set to continue as long as there are excessive amounts of arms in Mozambique and there are even ideas of elevating it to a regional plan of action. The EU decided to support Operation Rachel with EUR 200 000 in 2000 while EU-financed operations started during spring 2001.
