South African Defence Force - Infantry School 1986
Situated on the outskirts of Oudtshoorn, the School of Infantry trained the junior leaders for South Africa's mot. Infantry. The training was rigorous by any standards and less than half the candidates completed the course. It involved a platoon weapons phase, an endurance march covering 140 kilometers through the Swartberg mountains, a conventional warfare phase, urban and rural counterinsugency phases. The candidates were deployed operationally in Sector 10 along the SWA border as well as during the riots in support of the South African Police (SAP). Some of the footage in this clip does not depict members of Infantry School but serves to provide historical context.

61 MECH BN , SOUTH AFRICAN DEFENCE FORCE, LAST PARADE
61 Mech Bn was disbanded on the 17th of November 2005. This is a short video for those who could not attend and all those that died in the line of serving with the Unit. This unit was the real deal,the iron fist for conventional and semi-conventional warfare for the South African Defence Force. This was the only permanent Mechanised Batalion with all elements ranging from Artillery to Infantry and everything inbetween. As everybody that served in 61 will tell you....If you were in 61 you were there........ MOBILITATE VINCERE.
