where got 31 to 34 SCE?Originally posted by iveco:And where are 31-34 SCE? how come i don't know? -
There's 30, 35 & 36. What happened to the numbers in between?Originally posted by Gordonator:where got 31 to 34 SCE? how come i don't know? -
Some might be classified units.
-
there's also 39 SCE.Originally posted by iveco:There's 30, 35 & 36. What happened to the numbers in between?

What about 37 & 38?Originally posted by Gordonator:there's also 39 SCE. -
There are "gaps" in unit numbering because they may be reserve units, classified units and for disguising the true Orbat !Originally posted by iveco:What about 37 & 38? -
We just love 3,6,9 dun weOriginally posted by specfore:There are "gaps" in unit numbering because they may be reserve units, classified units and for disguising the true Orbat !
Maybe it's how the numbers sound when said in different dialects? -
maybe the saf believes in numerology
-
great thinking
-
think its due to some numbering when ns started, dunno what reservist unit thingy
-
Yeah, units like 2 Guards and 22 SA have been dissolved.Originally posted by Geforce3:think its due to some numbering when ns started, dunno what reservist unit thingy -
reserve units? i thought all reservist units are all the way up to hundreds? like 324SCE, 326SCE etc etc.Originally posted by specfore:There are "gaps" in unit numbering because they may be reserve units, classified units and for disguising the true Orbat ! -
Not true. There is 90th Battalion Guards.Originally posted by Gordonator:reserve units? i thought all reservist units are all the way up to hundreds? like 324SCE, 326SCE etc etc. -
You from 90GDS?Originally posted by iveco:Not true. There is 90th Battalion Guards. -
Ditto .... this is not true. I was from a reserve unit that had a single digit number.Originally posted by iveco:Not true. There is 90th Battalion Guards. -
Nope. But I've heard of such a unit.Originally posted by bcoy:You from 90GDS? -
Urmmm... not true. I was from a reserve unit that was single digit number ! Like I said, there is some logic in the numbering plus the fact that we need to disguise true strength.Originally posted by Gordonator:reserve units? i thought all reservist units are all the way up to hundreds? like 324SCE, 326SCE etc etc. -
Why reservists got 3 digits? Jus curious!Originally posted by specfore:Urmmm... not true. I was from a reserve unit that was single digit number ! Like I said, there is some logic in the numbering plus the fact that we need to disguise true strength.
-
no idea but they do not carry the same no as active units for a obvious reasonOriginally posted by gnoik:Why reservists got 3 digits? Jus curious! -
Urmmm... how about making the SAF look bigger ??!! If there was something like 123 SIR..... the enemy may think that we have one hundred infantry BNs !Originally posted by gnoik:Why reservists got 3 digits? Jus curious!
You see... the mis-information works... even us reservists are scratching our heads wondering where all the units are in the ORBAT and why the number sequence does not tally. Just imagine those "outside folks" who are trying to figure this one out also. -
Why do artillery units all start with 2xx, eg 275 SA, while armour units start with 4xx, eg 465 SAR? On the other hand, infantry unit numbers are jumbled up, eg 188 SIR, 556 SIR, 692 SIR. Same story with guards, eg, 90 GDS, 581 GDS, 636 GDS.
