About: Our South African Army today

In dedicating this book to the soldiers defending our country, the author is involving many South African families. We are an army of the people, for the people of the Republic of South Africa. In paging through Our South African Army today, a kaleidoscope unfolds, of soldiers from different population groups engaged in different facets of soldiering - part-time and full-time soldiers rendering voluntary and compulsory service. And yet all the men and women of our Permanent Force, Citizen Force and Commando Force work towards a common aim; to protect our territorial integrity and to maintain safety and security for the peaceful development of all the peoples of our country. Throughout history, soldiering has always come naturally to South Africans. In many wars and battles the South African soldier has proved himself to be brave, determined and willing to sacrifice all for the cause. Add to this the qualities of adaptability, innovation and patriotism, and it becomes clear that South African soldiers cannot but continue this fine tradition. The name, "South African Defence Force" describes our aims and intentions. We have no expansionist ambitions, but we will defend our country and all its peoples against any military threat. And the SA Army will execute the task of landward defence with one aim only: to not only win every battle, but to win the war! (Foreword by the Chief of the Army, Lt General C. L. Viljoen, SSAS, SM)
