Loss of military equipment by the SADF at the Battle at Indungo during the Border War,
31 October 1987
They were deployed in the area north of the target at Indungo, where they patrolled in an easterly direction. In terms of durability, Casspirs were not in the same class as the Ratel armored vehicles of the SAW.

Professional military instructor identity in the South African National Defence Force
Analysis of the military influencing factors and teacher influencing factors, such as those provided by Beijaard et al. The core of the conceptual framework of the PMII is the sub-identities with the Self as the central sub-identity. Anonymity regarding the input in the discussion was guaranteed by the research assistant who transcribed the discussion and did not identify any of the participants.
In addition, the interviews were transcribed by a third person who was not interested in the research. This could lead to a strengthening of the military ethos and the effectiveness of training of military instructors and by military instructors to improve training in the SANDF and thereby save soldiers' lives.
Food wastage management at the South African Military Academy officers’ mess
It is therefore important to ensure proper handling of food waste throughout all stages of food handling in the SAMA dining hall. In the catering sector, a larger amount of food waste is generated in the kitchen than other types of solid waste. Effective mess control and management is essential to reduce food waste during transport, storage and food preparation.
Does the Military Academy have a public awareness campaign to discuss food waste in the mess? The focus of this study was to analyze the food waste management (FWM) in the SAMA mess.
Artificial intelligence and big data in the Maritime Silk Road Initiative
The road towards Sea Power 2.0
The goal of the patent landscape was twofold: to frame MSRI and DSRI in the context of global supply chains and to show how AI and big data can be used in MSRI. Another area where MSRI and DSRI meet is in AI and big data. So far, the data presented has provided a macro perspective of patents related to AI and big data in the supply chain.
The fourth and fifth patents relate to improving port operations using AI and big data. In the context of the PLA Navy, the big data collected along the MSRI can be used to support military decisions.
Surviving as a private military contractor in Iraq
When the team leaves South Africa, the team - including Mauritz - goes through Turkey to Kurdistan (the northern part of Iraq) en route to the town of Sulaymaniyah. Here they meet another South African, Casper Oosthuizen, a former member of the police's special task force, who assists them by introducing the team to the Kurdistan Black Market for Weapons. On the one hand there are those who live and work in the Green Zone – the heavily fortified and tightly controlled area around Saddam Hussein's old palace, which now houses the US Embassy – and on the other hand those who survive in the Red Zone. , i.e.
Having no US ID, the team sets up in the red zone and gets to know the city and find some customers. Through persistence, hard work, common sense and a little bit of luck, OSSI-Safenet is able to carve out a niche market for itself in the cut-throat PSD scene in Baghdad.

While this is true – the book certainly reads like a memoir – Van der Waals manages to incorporate much more than just personal reflections and memories into his work. The second chapter of Eerste Daar is about Van der Waals' early military career and covers roughly the 1960s. In a trend that continues throughout the book, Van der Waals is quite modest about his role in the operation, perhaps even too much so.
The chapter covers Van der Waals' mainly diplomatic role in Angola before that country's independence, and provides an interesting perspective from a peacetime soldier (despite Operation Blouwildebees in 1966, the SADF was largely a peacetime fighting force in the early 1970s) in a war zone (Portugal). was at war in all respects with the Angolan liberation movements at the time). This part of the book highlights Van der Waals' role in establishing military-diplomatic relations with countries that had previously opposed the SADF, such as Swaziland and the newly independent Namibia.

Kansvatter: Die rustelose lewe van Ben Viljoen
After being voted in as a member of the second Volksraad (national council) of the ZAR, he was quickly seen as an opportunist by his peers. Like his hero, Napoleon, Viljoen was considered persona non grata by the British Empire, the largest Western empire of the time. During the South African War, Viljoen served as a Boer general who led his commandos in various battles and skirmishes across the eastern parts of the former Transvaal.
Nevertheless, the popularity of the South African War among military historians and history buffs meant that Viljoen's time as a commanding officer provided a range of sources for Van der Merwe. This part of Viljoen's life has been briefly explained in earlier publications by other researchers such as Brian M du Toit and CJ Scheepers Strydom.576 Although their publications also cover Viljoen's time in the southern states of the United States, Van der Merwe's account of Viljoen as a circus performer in St.
Emile Coetzee
The historians from the United States and Mexico would certainly benefit from knowing Ben Viljoen's role in the history of their two respective countries. In particular, the state of New Mexico should consider and discuss the role of a former Boer general in the establishment of their state more than a century ago. Viljoen died in 1917 in New Mexico (NM) and is buried in the Masonic Cemetery in La Mesa, NM.
However, he also experienced times of sadness, and Van der Merwe does not ignore the personal pain Viljoen had to endure – nor the list of lovers the flirtatious Viljoen had. Van der Merwe has written a biography that is, in this reviewer's opinion, a well-researched, well-written and well-edited book that is really enjoyable to read and useful for future research.
Physical control, transformation and damage in the First World War
War bodies
Like the comparative literature, the bodies Walker identifies as “British” remain largely undefined, with little attention paid to placing these bodies in the broader context of the British empire. Furthermore, many, if not all, of these British organizations' experiences on the home front are limited to Britain. For the most part, Walker bases most of the content of his book on the existing secondary literature, essentially promoting standing arguments and ideas.
Each chapter in the book focuses on a phase of the war that British bodies experienced, cascading down into sub-themes that add nuance and diversity. Here he includes the perception of the body by the British public, the state and the military in the early twentieth century and how it changed in the years leading up to the First World War.
Anri Delport
A central theme that emerges in the book is the increasing amount of scrutiny, control, categorization, cultural considerations and state-level interference in men's bodies. Then it continued as the military and the state demobilized war bodies and reshaped, remodeled and recategorized them as civilian bodies. As Walker reflects in the opening lines, he "didn't have a chance to personally know the men" under discussion.

Enemies in the Empire: Civilian internment in the British Empire during the First World War
The local divisions were still palpable in the East London of my youth, and several of the names on the 'arrest list' were well known in the city. Their fate was largely in the hands of one man: Lieutenant Colonel HW Hamilton-Fowle, the Union Provost Marshal, who later became the Commissioner for Enemy Subjects, the Warden of Enemy Trade, and the controller of the Pietermaritzburg internment camp – the ' house' of internees for four years. Clearly, as Manz and Panayi argue, the mobilization of religion and education "turned ethnic contact zones into colonial friction zones".597 The outbreak of the First World War brought matters to a head.
Some of them, under the most severe form of 'alien' control, were interned throughout the British Empire during the war. The result is a book of masterful approach and scope, and a fine example of the recent shift to study the First World War in global terms.
Ian van der Waag
As is so often the case in global research, the research material was spread across the world: from the official archives of the National Archives of the United Kingdom and the India Office Records in London, to the national archives of the dominions and colonies of the then British Empire, and the semi-official and private correspondence of key players. For this reason, the book is written on three levels – the strategic, the operational and the individual – and is presented in three parts. In this way, the chapters progress downward from the policy level to internment on the ground, and the authors connect larger processes with individual case studies.
While this division makes perfect sense in the context of this study, historians in Australia and Canada and elsewhere will question this choice.

The evolving role of amphibious operations in the history of warfare
Due to insufficient naval and naval capabilities during the period of the world wars, South Africa's experience of amphibious operations was extremely limited. Despite these realities, these case studies provide an interesting lens through which to investigate the South African experience of amphibious operations. Söderlund and Steyn's book traces the doctrinal evolution of the employment of special forces in amphibious operations from a historical perspective, and in doing so addresses a gap in the historiography.
The clear gaps in the South African historiography relating to amphibious operations and doctrinal development deserve to be examined in detail. A definite opportunity therefore exists for academics, theorists and practitioners to explore the concept of amphibious operations from a distinctly South African perspective.
Evert Kleynhans
Arne Söderlund and Douw Steyn's Iron fist from the sea: Top secret seaborne recce operations is probably the most detailed account of the evolving role of amphibious operations from a South African perspective - albeit from a special forces perspective. In this regard, special forces operators, supported by elements of the South African Navy, were able to project force along the Atlantic and Indian coasts of southern Africa. The formation of the Marine Reaction Squadron in 2005 reinvigorated the Marine Corps unit and provided the South African Navy with a specialized Marine-like unit consisting of combat-ready amphibious, diving and small boats.
The establishment of the Maritime Response Squadron occurred against the backdrop of a great need for the South African Navy to contribute to various peacekeeping roles within the African continent and assist in sea boarding operations, humanitarian operations and disaster relief.
