In 1991, the structure of the special forces underwent another change, when the special forces headquarters was disbanded and a Directorate Reconnaissance, reporting directly to the Chief of the Army, was established instead. Another organisational change followed in 1993, when the Directorate Reconnaissance became 45 Parachute Brigade https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_African_Special_Forces Please note policy with regards to SAPO Postal shipping under shipping options.

From 'Google Books ";  " A  gripping first-hand account of the combat operations and life of a member of the secretive and elite South African Special Forces, known as 'Recces'. South African Special Forces, known as the 'Recces', are an elite group of soldiers that few can aspire to join. Shrouded in secrecy due to the covert nature of their work, the legendary Recces have long fascinated, but little is known about how they operate. Now one of this select band has written a tell-all book about the extraordinary missions he embarked on and the nail-biting action he experienced in the Border War. Shortly after passing the infamously grueling Special Forces selection course in the early 1980s, Koos Stadler joined the so-called Small Teams group at 5 Reconnaissance Regiment. This sub-unit was made up of two-man teams and was responsible for numerous secret and highly dangerous missions deep behind enemy lines. With only one other team member, Stadler was sent to blow up railway lines and enemy fighter jets in the south of Angola. As he crawled in and out of enemy-infested territory, he stared death in the face many times.

  We Fear Naught But God: The Story of the South African Special Forces “The Recces”by Paul Els Publisher: Covos-Day, Johannesburg Edition: 2000 – First Edition Binding: Softcover ISBN: 0-620-23891-7 Pages: 248 with numerous colour black & white photographs, illustrations, diagrams and maps   Extra Information Condition – Excellent, clean with tight binding Language: English. CD not included with book   Special forces operators were carefully selected and trained to gather covert strategic and tactical information about enemy activities. They learned how to observe silently, harass the enemy and destroy selected targets – all behind enemy lines. Frequently required to face great dread, they had to learn to control that fear to survive.   We Fear Naught But God bring the reconnaissance soldiers – the recces – to those who have wondered about what kind of men they were. Their families, their heartaches, their sufferings and achievements.   These men were not assassins who eliminated spies in hotel rooms. They were responsible men who had a sense of integrity and served their country proudly.
