Ibutho laseningizimu afrika

Umbutho Wezempi waseNingizimu Afrika uyigatsha lempi yangaphansi kweSouth African National Defence Force . Izimpande zawo zingalandelwa ekwakhekeni kwayo ngemuva kokudalwa kweNyunyana yaseNingizimu Afrika ngo-1910. Amasosha aseNingizimu Afrika aguquka ngokwesiko lempi yasemngceleni eyalwelwa ngamabutho amaBoer Commando ( amasosha ), aqiniswa ukungathembeki komlando wamaBhunu ngamabutho amakhulu ayemi. Yabe isilwa njengengxenye yomzamo obanzi waseBrithani kuyo yomibili iMpi Yezwe I kanye neMpi Yesibili Yomhlaba, kepha ngemuva kwalokho yanqanyulwa ebudlelwaneni bayo obabunesikhathi eside be-Commonwealth nokukhuphukela emandleni eNational Party eNingizimu Afrika ngo-1948. Ibutho lalibambe iqhaza emkhankasweni omude futhi omubi wokulwa nabavukeli eNamibia kusukela ngo-1966 kuya ku-1990. Iphinde yadlala indima enkulu ekulawuleni udlame lwamaqembu ezepolitiki ngaphakathi eNingizimu Afrika ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yama-1980 kanye nasekuqaleni kwawo-1990.

Indima Yombutho yashintshwa ngokuyisisekelo yiziyaluyalu zokuqala kweminyaka yama-1990 kwathi ngemuva kuka1994 Amasosha aba yingxenye yeSANDF entsha.Manje iya ngokuya ibandakanyeka emizamweni yokugcina ukuthula eningizimu ye-Afrika, imvamisa njengengxenye yemisebenzi ebanzi ye- African Union .I-Army yakhiwa cishe yizi-40,100 zabasebenzi abafake umfaniswano njalo, okwengezwe ngabasebenzi be-reserve abali-12 300. Isakhiwo isikhundla/yobudala ibutho, okuyinto sawohloka ngokuphuthumayo ngesikhathi 1990,liyathuthuka kakhulu ngokusebenzisa Military Skills Development (MSDS) yokuzithandela kazwelonke uhlelo service.Ngalolu hlelo, amalungu amasha aphilile afakwa emikhakheni ejwayelekile futhi egcinwayo minyaka yonke.

Umlando

Ngemuva kokuthi i- Union of South Africa isungulwe ngo-1910, uGeneral Jan Smuts, uNgqongqoshe Wezokuvikela wokuqala weNyunyana, wabeka phambili kakhulu ekwakheni amasosha ahlanganisiwe emabuthweni ahlukene ezifundazwe ezine zale nyunyana (iBritish Cape Colonial Forces, kanye amabutho eNatal Colony, iTransvaal, kanye ne- Orange River Colony ). Umtsetfo Wetekuvikela (Nombolo 13) wanga-1912 wasungula Umbutfo Wetekuvikela (Union Defence Force (UDF) lobewufaka i-Permanent Force (noma libutfo lelimile) lemasotja emisebenti, i- Active Citizen Force yebasebenti besikhashana kanye nemavolontiya kanye nenhlangano ye- Cadet.Umthetho ka-1912 wawuphoqa futhi bonke abesilisa abamhlophe abaphakathi kweminyaka eyishumi nesikhombisa kuya kwengamashumi ayisithupha ukuba basebenze ebusosheni, kepha lokhu akuzange kuphoqelelwe ngokuqinile njengoba kwakukhona inani elikhulu lamavolontiya. Esikhundleni salokho, uhhafu wabesilisa abamhlophe abaneminyaka esukela ku-17 kuya ku-25 babhaliswa ngenkatho ku-ACF. Ngenhloso yokuqeqeshwa, iNyunyana yahlukaniswa izifunda zamasosha eziyi-15.  : 2

Ekuqaleni, i-Permanent Force yayiqukethe imibuso emihlanu yeSouth African Mounted Riflemen (SAMR), ngamunye unebhethri lezikhali ezifakiwe. UDorning uthi 'i-SAMR empeleni ibiyisigungu samasosha esifana neCape Mounted Riflemen, esinikezwe umsebenzi wamaphoyisa ezindaweni zawo.'  : 3 Ngo-1913 nango-1914, iCitizen Force entsha eyayinamalungu angama-23 400 yacelwa ukuba icindezele iziteleka eziningi zezimboni eWitwatersrand .

Ngokuya ngomthetho wezokuVikela wango-1912, i-Active Citizen Force yasungulwa ngaphansi kukaBrig. Gen. I-CF Beyers ngomhlaka 1 Julayi 1913. Amandla agunyaziwe e-ACF ne-Coast Garrison Force kwakungu-25,155 kwathi ngo-31 Disemba amandla uqobo ayemi kuma-23,462.

Impi Yezwe Yokuqala

I-BL 5.4 inch Howitzer kanye nabasebenzi, eMpumalanga Afrika, 1916 noma ngo-1917. Isithombe sihlonishwa yi-SANDF Archives, evela eNöthling, CJ (ed), "i-Ultima Ratio Regum: Umlando Wezikhali waseNingizimu Afrika" ngo-1987

Ngemuva kwesimemezelo saseBrithani sokulwa neJalimane ngomhla ka-4 Agasti 1914, iNingizimu Afrika yangezelela umzamo wempi waseBrithani ngenxa yesikhundla sakhe sokuba yiDominance ngaphakathi koMbuso. Yize yayizibusa, iNingizimu Afrika, kanye namanye amaDolobha afana ne-Australia, Canada kanye neNew Zealand, babezimele ngaphandle kweBrithani.

UGeneral Louis Botha, owayengundunankulu ngaleso sikhathi, wabhekana nokuphikiswa kwamaBhunu okusabekayo elwa neGreat Britain ngokushesha nje emva kweMpi Yesibili Yamabhunu, futhi kwadingeka ukuthi aqede ukuhlubuka kwezempi ngabathile ababenobudlova ngaphambi kokuba athumele iqembu labangama-67,000. amasosha ukuba ahlasele iSouth West Africa yaseJalimane (manje eyiNamibia ). Amasosha aseJalimane ayemi lapho agcina ezinikele emabuthweni aseNingizimu Afrika ngoJulayi 1915. Ngo-1920 iNingizimu Afrika yathola igunya leNhlangano Yezizwe lokuphatha leli koloni laseJalimane langaphambilini nokulilungiselela ukuzimela kungakapheli unyaka, kodwa umsebenzi waseNingizimu Afrika waqhubeka ngokungekho emthethweni kwaze kwaba ngu-1990.

I-cap badge ye-1st SA Infantry Brigade

Kamuva, iSouth African Infantry Brigade, nezinye izinhlaka ezahlukahlukene ezifana neSouth African Native Labour Corps, bathunyelwa eFrance ngenhloso yokulwa neWestern Front njengeSouth African Overseas Expeditionary Force ngaphansi komyalo waseBrithani. IBrigade yokuqala yaseNingizimu Afrika ibinemibutho emine yamabutho asemasha, emele abesilisa abavela kuzona zozine izifundazwe zeNyunyana yaseNingizimu Afrika, kanye naseRhodesia . Ibutho lokuqala laqhamuka esiFundazweni saseKapa, eliBili lesibili lalivela eNatali nase- Orange Free State kanti elelesithathu lalisuka eTransvaal naseRhodesia. Ibutho lesine labizwa ngeSouth Scottish yaseNingizimu Afrika futhi wakhuliswa kumalungu eTransvaal Scottish kanye naseKapa iHighlanders ; babegqoke i- Atholl Murray tartan . Amayunithi Ukusekela kuhlanganisiwe ezinhlanu amabhethri wezikhali esindayo, a ensimini ambulensi iyunithi, a Royal Onjiniyela amasignali inkampani kanye esibhedlela samasosha.

Abantu baseNingizimu Afrika nabaseRhodesi balwa namaJalimane ngezandla eDelville Wood

Isenzo esibiza kakhulu amasosha aseNingizimu Afrika eWestern Front alwa naso yimpi yaseDelville Wood ngo-1916 - emadodeni angama-3 000 avela ku-brigade angena ehlathini, angama-768 kuphela aphuma engenamyocu.Okunye ukulahleka okudabukisayo kwempilo yamabutho aseNingizimu Afrika ngesikhathi sempi ukucwila kweMendi ngomhla zingama-21 kuNhlolanja ngo-1917, lapho ibutho lezempi iMendi - ngenkathi lihambisa amalungu angama-607 eSouth African Native Labour Corps lisuka eBrithani liya eFrance - lashaywa lasikwa cishe phakathi ngomunye umkhumbi.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, impi elwa namabutho amaJalimane nama- Askari eGerman East Africa nayo ibandakanye amabutho aseNingizimu Afrika angaphezu kwama-20 000; balwa ngaphansi komyalo kaGeneral Jan Smuts ngenkathi eqondisa umkhankaso waseBrithani wokulwa lapho ngo-1915. (Ngesikhathi sempi, ibutho laliholwa nguGeneral Smuts, owayesengene kabusha ebusosheni esikhundleni sakhe njengoNgqongqoshe Wezokuvikela lapho kuqala impi. )

Abantu abangamaKhaladi baseNingizimu Afrika nabo babone isenzo esiphawuleka neCape Corps ePalestine .

Ngabantu abalinganiselwa ezigidini eziyisithupha, phakathi kuka-1914 - 1918, abantu baseNingizimu Afrika abangaphezu kwama-250,000 bazo zonke izinhlanga basebenzela izwe labo ngokuzithandela. Izinkulungwane eziningi zasebenza ngqo eButhweni LaseBrithani, nabangaphezu kuka-3 000 bejoyina iBritish Royal Flying Corps kanye nabangaphezu kuka-100 bezisebenzi zokuzithandela zeRoyal Navy . Abamhlophe abangaphezu kuka-146,000, ama-Afrika amnyama angama-83,000 kanye namaKhaladi angama-2 500 kanye nabase-Asiya nabo bakhonza eGerman South-West Africa, East Africa, Middle East, noma eWestern Front eYurophu. Ukuhlukumezeka kwabantu ababalelwa ku-19,000, abangaphezu kuka-7,000 baseNingizimu Afrika babulawa, kwathi ababalelwa ku-12,000 balimala ngesikhathi sempi.Abantu baseNingizimu Afrika abayisishiyagalombili banqobe iVictoria Cross ngokuqokwa ngamagoli, okuyindondo yamasosha ephakeme kakhulu futhi ehlonishwayo. Impi yaseDelville Wood kanye nokucwila kwe- SS <i id="mwmQ">Mendi okuyizigameko</i> ezinkulu kakhulu zokulahlekelwa yimpilo.

Isikhathi se-Interwar

Ukulimala kwabantu ngesikhathi sempi kanye nokuncishiswa amandla kwangemva kwempi kwayenza buthaka i-UDF. LUmthetho omusha ngo-1922 waphinde wasungula ukubuthwa kwabesilisa abamhlophe abaneminyaka yobudala engama-21 iminyaka emine yokuqeqeshelwa impi nokusebenza, futhi wakha kabusha i-Permanent Force.Amasosha e-UDF athatha imisebenzi yezokuphepha yangaphakathi eNingizimu Afrika futhi aqeda imibhikisho eminingana mayelana nokubuswa kwabantu baseNingizimu Afrika eSouth-West Africa. Abantu baseNingizimu Afrika bathola ukulimala okuphezulu, ikakhulukazi ngo-1922, lapho iqembu elizimele lamaKhoikhoi - elaziwa ngokuthi amaBondelswarts - amaHerero ngamaqembu amnyama ayeligqoka empini - lahola olunye lwezinhlubuki eziningi; ngo-1925, lapho abantu bezinhlanga ezihlangene - abakwaBasters - befuna ukuzimela kwamasiko nokuzimela kwezepolitiki; kwathi ngo-1932, lapho abantu base -Ovambo (Ambo) abasemngceleni we- Angola befuna kuphele ukubuswa kweNingizimu Afrika. Ngesikhathi sesiteleka seRandi sango-1922, amalungu angama-14,000 e-ACF kanye nabathile abangama-A class reservists babizwa.

Ukuncishiswa kwemali kubonakale i-UDF isiyonke inciphile. Ibutho lokugcina elalisele laseNingizimu Afrika i-Mounted Riflemen lahlakazwa mhla zingama-31 kuNdasa 1926 futhi isibalo sezifunda zamasosha sehliswa sisuka ku-16 saya kwayisithupha ngomhlaka 1 Ephreli 1926. IBrigade HQ yeSA Field Artillery nayo yahlakazwa.Ngo-1933 izifunda eziyisithupha zamasosha zakhiwa kabusha iMiyalo . :9 Ngenxa yezinqubomgomo zayo zokubuthelwa empini, i-UDF yenyusa amabutho ayo asebenza kanzima aya kuma-56,000 ngasekupheleni kwawo-1930; Amadoda ayi-100,000 nawo abengaphansi kweNational Riflemen's Reserve, ebihlinzeka ngokuqeqesha izikhali nokusebenza.

Impi Yezwe Yesibili

 

Imoto Yezempi yaseMarmon-Herrington yaseNingizimu Afrika eqhuba ukuhlonishwa eNyakatho Afrika.

Ngesikhathi seMpi Yesibili Yomhlaba, Amasosha aseNingizimu Afrika alwa nemikhankaso yaseMpumalanga Afrika, eNyakatho Afrika nase- Italy. Ngo-1939, ibutho lasekhaya eNingizimu Afrika lahlukaniswa phakathi kwemiyalo eminingi yesifunda.Lokhu kubandakanya iCape Command (nendlunkulu yayo eseCastle of Good Hope, eKapa), i- Orange Free State Command, iNatal Command, iWitwatersrand Command (5th and 9th Brigades kanye neTransvaal Horse Artillery ), uRobert's Heights kanye neTransvaal Command(iHQ Robert's Heights ) kanye ne-Eastern Province Command e- East London .

Ngokumenyezelwa kwempi ngoSepthemba 1939, uMbutho waseNingizimu Afrika wawunezinkulungwane ezingama-5 353 kuphela, enamadoda angama-14,631 e-Active Citizen Force (ACF) anikeze ukuqeqeshwa isikhathi sokuthula kumavolontiya futhi ngesikhathi sempi kwakuzoba umzimba webutho. Amapulani Oku-impi akazange ukulindela ukuthi ibutho zaziyakulwa ngaphandle aseningizimu ye-Afrika futhi waqeqeshwa futhi ifakwe kuphela ehlathini impi.

Enye yezinkinga zokuqhubeka nokubhekana neNingizimu Afrika ngesikhathi sempi ukushoda kwabantu abakhona. Ngenxa yezinqubomgomo zayo zobuhlanga kuzobhekwa kuphela amadoda ahloma ngezikhali avela eYurophu anciphisa iqula lamadoda aphakathi kweminyaka engama-20 nengama-40 kuya kwangama-320,000. Ngaphezu kwalokho isimemezelo sempi ngeGerman sasisekelwa iningi elincane kuphela ephalamende laseNingizimu Afrika futhi sasingadumile emhlabeni wonke. Ngempela, kwakukhona idlanzana elibonakalayo elaliphikisana nempi futhi ngaphansi kwalezi zimo ukubuthwa kwakungakaze kube inketho. Ukunwetshwa kwempi nokuthunyelwa kwayo phesheya kwezilwandle kwakuxhomeke ngokuphelele kumavolontiya.

I- 1st South African Infantry Division yabamba iqhaza ezenzakalweni eziningi eMpumalanga Afrika ngo-1940, eNyakatho Afrika ngo-1941 nango-1942, kuhlanganisa neMpi Yesibili yase-El Alamein, ngaphambi kokuba ihoxiselwe eNingizimu Afrika.

Uphiko Lwesibili Lwezinsana lwaseNingizimu Afrika nalo lwabamba iqhaza ezenzakalweni eziningi eNyakatho Afrika ngonyaka we-1942, kodwa mhla zingama-21 kuNhlangulana 1942 amabutho amabili aphelele alesi sigaba kanye namayunithi amaningi asekelayo athunjwa lapho kuwa iTobruk .

Uphiko lwesi-3 lwe-Infantry Division lwaseNingizimu Afrika aluzange lubambe iqhaza elibonakalayo kunoma yiziphi izimpi kodwa kunalokho lwahlela futhi lwaqeqesha umbutho wezokuvikela wasekhaya waseNingizimu Afrika, lwenza imisebenzi yamabutho futhi lwaphindisela iSouth African 1st Infantry Division kanye ne-South African 2nd Infantry Division. Kodwa-ke, elinye lamabutho alesi sigaba - iBattalion yesi-7 yaseNingizimu Afrika ePhalaborwa - labamba iqhaza ekuhlaselweni kweMadagascar ngo-1942.

I- 6th South African Armored Division yalwa ngezenzo eziningi e-Italy kusuka ngo-1944 kuya ku-1945.

Kwabesilisa abangama-334,000 abavolontiya ukusebenza isikhathi esigcwele eMbuthweni waseNingizimu Afrika ngesikhathi sempi (kubandakanya abamhlophe abangaba ngu-211,000, abamnyama abangama-77,000 kanye namaKhaladi aseKapa nabase-Asiya abangama- 46,000), babalelwa ku-9 000 ababulawa besebenza, yize iCommonwealth War Graves Commission inamarekhodi angama-11 023 kwaziwa impi yaseNingizimu Afrika ifile phakathi neMpi Yezwe II .

UGeneral Mark W. Clark (i-15th Army Group) uthatha isigqoko kubabulali bamathangi be-M-10 be-11 Armored Brigade ye- 6th South African Armored Division embukisweni wokukhumbula ukuphela kwempi e- Italy . Isifunda seMonza Race : 14 Julayi 1945

Isikhathi sangemva kwempi

Ukunwetshwa kwesikhathi sempi kwaphinde kwalandelwa ukwehliswa ngamandla emuva kweMpi Yezwe II. Ngaleso sikhathi, ukungqubuzana kwekhulu lamaNgisi namaBhunu okwalandelwa amashumi eminyaka ethonya laseBrithani eNingizimu Afrika kwase kubhebhethekise intukuthelo yamaBhunu. I-Resurgent Afrikaner nationalism kwaba yinto ebalulekile ekukhuleni kweNational Party (NP) njengoba ukhetho luka-1948 lwalusondela. Ngemuva kokunqoba okhethweni oluncane kwe-NP ngo-1948, uhulumeni waqala ukwenza amaBhunu ngokungaguquguquki; yandisa izibopho zenkonzo yezempi futhi yaqinisa imithetho yokubuthwa. Iningi le-UDF labhaliswa izinyanga ezintathu zoCitizen Force onyakeni wabo wokuqala wokusebenza, kanye nokuqeqeshwa amasonto amathathu engeziwe unyaka nonyaka iminyaka emine ngemuva kwalokho.

Ngo-1948, uNgqongqoshe Wezokuvikela omusha, uFrans Erasmus, wayehlose 'ukulinganisa izinkundla zokudlala' eMbuthweni Wezokuvikela, eyayigxile kakhulu eBrithani ekusebenziseni, ezinhlakeni, kumayunifomu kanye naseziqeshini zamagama.Lokhu kuthuthukiswe kusuka ekuzameni kwesenzo sokuqinisekisa kwaba 'ukuhlanzwa okunezombusazwe'.

Amayunithi ahlukahlukene e-Commando, phambilini ayengama-'Skietverenigings ', kamuva abizwa ngama-Commandos wohlobo A, B noma C azimele aqhubeka njengebutho elilodwa noma amayunithi amancane azimele. Njengengxenye yokuhlelwa kabusha kwangemva kwempi, i-Defence Rifle Associations yahlakazwa ngo-1948 yathathelwa indawo yinhlangano entsha yeCommando enamandla amadoda angama-90,000.Ngasikhathi sinye, imibutho yamabutho ebutho elilodwa elalisetshenziswa ngesiBhunu eyasungulwa ngonyaka we-1934 yathola ukushintshwa kwegama okungenani okukodwa kwesinye isikhathi nangaphezulu. Isisulu sokuqala kwaba yiMiddellandse Regiment eyaziwayo, eyaba yiRegion Gideon Scheepers ngo-1954.

Kuphinde kwathathwa isinqumo sokuthi kusungulwe futhi kugcinwe izingxenye ezimbili zamasosha aphelele ku-UDF: okuyi- 1 SA Infantry Division kanye ne- 6 SA Armored Division, ehlanganisa i-1, 2, 3, 12, ne-13 (CF) Infantry Brigades kanye ne (PF) 11 Izikhali Brigade . Le mikhakha yasungulwa ngokusemthethweni kusukela ngomhlaka 1 Julayi 1948, kepha ngaphandle kwamaBrigade ayi-11 ahlakazwa ngomhlaka 1 Novemba 1949, ikakhulu ngenxa yobunzima bokuthola amavolontiya aqashwa kumabutho amaCitizen Force. I-11th Armored Brigade nayo yahlakazwa ngomhla ka-1 Okthoba 1953. Ngasekuqaleni kweminyaka yama-1950 iNyunyana yathatha, kepha, ukuhlinzeka ngohlangothi olulodwa lwezempi ukuze lusebenze eMiddle East uma kuba nempi esifundeni. Kuze kube manje kufakwa ama-tanki ama-Centurion angamakhulu amabili, kwathi awokuqala ahanjiswa ngoJulayi 1952. Ngesikhathi sokuzivocavoca u-Oranje, esenziwa ngo-1956, uMbutho wahlola amaCenturion awo okokuqala esimweni sempi yenuzi.

UMthetho Wezokuvikela (No. 44) wango-1957 waqamba kabusha i-UDF ngokuthi yiSouth African Defence Force (SADF) futhi wasungula ngaphakathi kuyo amanye amayunithi asabela ngokushesha, noma amaCommandos, ukuze aphendule ezinsongweni ezenziwa endaweni ethile. I-SADF,ebalwa cishe ngama-20 000 ngo-1958,ibizokhula ize ifinyelele cishe ku-80,000 emashumini amabili eminyaka ezayo.

Following the declaration of the Republic of South Africa in 1961, the "Royal" title was dropped from the names of army regiments like the Natal Carbineers and the Durban Light Infantry,and the Crown removed from regimental badges.

"Impi Yomngcele" (1966–1989)

Ngasekuqaleni kweminyaka yama-1960, usongo lwezempi olwenziwa yiSouth-West Africa People's Organisation (SWAPO) kanye nabasekeli balo bamaKhomanisi eNingizimu Ntshonalanga Afrika lwashukumisela uhulumeni waseNingizimu Afrika ukuthi andise izibopho zomsebenzi wezempi futhi andise nezikhathi zomsebenzi osebenzayo. Umthetho Wezokuvikela (No. 12) wonyaka we-1961 wagunyaza ungqongqoshe wezokuvikela ukuthi athumele amasosha amaCitizen Force kanye namaComando "ekulawuleni udlame", imvamisa ukuvimba imibhikisho elwa nobandlululo, ikakhulukazi lapho yonakala yaba yizixuku zezixuku ngokufa kwabantu. Umthetho Wezokuvikela (No. 85) wango-1967 nawo wakhulisa izibopho zamasosha, ezazidinga izakhamuzi zesilisa ezimhlophe ukuba zenze umsebenzi kazwelonke, kufaka phakathi isikhathi sokuqala sokuqeqeshwa, isikhathi sokusebenza, kanye neminyaka eminingana esesimweni sokulondolozwa, kuncike ekubizweni ngokushesha .

Ukugcinwa kokuthula nokunye ukusebenza

Ibutho laseNingizimu Afrika langemva kuka-1994 selibambe iqhaza elikhulu emisebenzini yokugcina ukuthula ngaphansi komyalo weNhlangano Yezizwe kanye ne- African Union kwamanye amazwe ase-Afrika njenge- United Nations Mission eSudan (UNMIS), i- United Nations Operation eBurundi (ONUB) kanye ne- United Nations I-Organisation Stabilization Mission eDemocratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO), futhi yenza kahle ngalezi zinselelo, yize kunezingqinamba ezithile kanye nokuncishiswa kwesabelomali.

Eminye imisebenzi uMbutho ayethunywe yona nguhulumeni ihlanganisa: I-Operation Boleas ( iLesotho ), i-Operation Fibre ( iBurundi ), i-Operation Triton (amahlandla ayisihlanu eComoros ), i-Operation Amphibian ( iRwanda ), i-Operation Montego ( eLiberia ), i-Operation Espresso (i- Ethiopia ), I-Operation Cordite ( iSudan ), i-Operation Teutonic ne-Operation Bulisa (bobabili baseDemocratic Republic of the Congo ), i-Operation Pristine ( e-Ivory Coast ), i- Operation Vimbezela (i- Central African Republic ) ne-Operation Bongane (e-Uganda).

Isakhiwo

Kusukela ngomThetho wezokuVikela womnyaka we-1912, uMbutho weSewula Afrika sele unamaqoqo amathathu. Elokuqala ngumbutho omile, owaziwa kusukela ngama-1970s njengePermanent Force.Umbutho wamabutho ezempi nawo wasungulwa ngokwemigomo yoMthetho we-1912 futhi ekuqaleni waqoka i-Active Citizen Force

Umbutho wasungulwa ngomhlaka 1 Julayi 1913.Okunye ukuqokwa kuyo yonke le minyaka kufake phakathi i-Active Reserve Force, iCitizen Force, iCommunity Reserve kanye neTerritorial Reserve.Uhlelo lweDeloitte neTouche, kanye nezinqubomgomo ezahlukahlukene kule minyaka edlule kubhekiswe ku-'One Force Concept 'lapho ama-reservists kanye nama-reserve amayunithi kufanele aphathwe ngokulinganayo nozakwabo bamandla unomphela. Lokhu kaningi akunjalo.

Ngenxa yokwakhiwa kabusha kwama-Reserves, inani eliqondile lezinqolobane kunzima ukuliqinisekisa. Kodwa-ke umgomo wokuhlelela u-2011/12 kwakuyizinqolobane eziyizi-12,400.
