South African Defence Force: The Citizen Force at War (1966-1989)
After completing their two years of military service, South African conscripts were alotted to the Citizen Force. Here they served for ten years, 60 days per year. The Citizen Force made up the bulk of the SADF's conventional forces and included first class fighting units such as the 1st Transvaal Scottish, the Rand Light Infantry or the Natal Carbineers. The units were deployed operationally during the border war (1966-1989). Up to 1990 the units experienced a reporting rate of over 100 percent, given that many men volunteered. After 1990 the reporting rate dropped dramatically as people realised that the war was finally over and the Government was preparing to hand power to the ANC. After 1994 most units were disbanded.

South African Defence Force: Armoured assault
The SADF main battle tank was the "Olifant". Based on the British "Centurion", it carried a 105 mm gun, had improved mobility in addition to other modifications. While able to match any Soviet equivalent deployed in Sub-Saharan Africa at the time, it remained an improvisation. Also featured in this video is the G 6 155 mm self-propelled howitzer. While superior to anything that the Angolan side could put in the field, there were rather few actually deployed at the time. The backbone of the artillery during operations in Angola therefore continued to be the G 5. The last part of the video features mechanised infantry.
