MikeCZA: JOPS underwent some changes and became a completely configured -and new - concept under Gen. Ferreira. One could argue that he conceptualised what the Division should be, and wasn't, unfortunately, in the position long enough to realise that vision. ![]() ![]() JOPS has come a long way since then. A Navy man is now acting CJOPS ![]() ![]() ![]() 1 Like

And of course, the planning now starts for the Dec 2017 trip which completes the whole SADC. Namibia, Angola, DRC, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, SA. The Mozambican, Malawian and Tanzanian martial connections were so beneficent, we're planning the next trip entirely around similar exigencies. 2 Likes

frumentius: until now nothing about the Ajban SOV , the NIMR II is the only model build in algeria and arab countries like United Arab Emirates are not serious in military contract and investissment . the NIMR II production line is very slow for algerian SF , there is rumors about the mercedes G-Class MRV , algeria have a mercedes-benz production line in Tiaret for 4*4 G class, and many others models and trucks (military and civilian)

giles14: They number no more than 99 across the country in a police force of over 150 000 officers, so naturally they'll never intercept every common crime let alone every CIT/ATM heist, but they're incredibly proficient at their work. They're well resourced and led by great leadership however the wider police force has serious personnel issues. But for ordinary SAfricans like myself successes like these make me proud. 1 Like |

Odunayaw: Very very few of them in a police force of 150 000. I dont know the exact numbers.....but i would guess 50/60 of them in Gauteng (Joburg and Pretoria), 30/40 in Durban, 30/40 of them in Cape Town. My guess. And i dont think im very far off. 2 Likes

gees9: At the height of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, yes. Recruitment by private military contractors depleted the ranks but the situation has somewhat stabilised since then. Can't divulge figures but let's just say this: used to be Jozi and Cape Town bases which had full complement and operators had to fly if needed elsewhere. Now it's bases in most of the metros. We're still losing operators to PMCs (and to the bloody PPU CAT, which doesn't want to train its own! -my STF mate insists I put that down) though, across all of our elite units. 1 Like

GreenandGold: I had no idea R1s are still used by the SAPS. I heard most of them were rounded up and destroyed a few years back, in compliance with a UN-sponsored disarmament programme. Just as well I suppose, some surplus weapons always tend to slip through the cracks. |

The visiting head of the FBI's elite HRT unit was given a presentation on STF Selection & Training Regimen. His very first question, "This is a police unit?" The only unit on the entire continent with whom the US Secret Service will collaborate on the entirety of a visiting US president's schedule. (Not a boast: with training, anyone can do this. Kenya went from the Westgate debacle to covering 20% of Obama's visit. Far more than militarily-superior Egypt.) 1 Like

Hrmnn: I'm not too sure if they still use the R1 that's why I had to confirm from frumentius who didn't bother participating ![]() But according to the documentaries I saw, they use the R1 with armour piercing rounds to kill criminal vehicle engines.... But it seems like one STF member didn't get the memo and shot a thug in the head and blew his brains opened. The gore is will inspire Neil Blomkamp's next thriller. |

Hrmnn: Urban legend to explain civilian shortage. In one of the NCACC reports we even imported hundreds of FNs from Zim stockpiles to re-purpose as R1 for SANDF snipers. [For GreenandGold: yes, the STF also uses them. Later on my home desktop I'll dig up some recent pics.]
