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.
