It is not our problem that after we stabilised them they afterwards decided to go on rampage. We stabilised them and made sure that they elect democratic government through free and fair election using SA constitution as a guidance. We further helped them to draft their constitutions which is similar to ours. An African however will remain an African with violence, greed, corruption, etc
Burundi was never truly stable, you left it hanging in the balance. Stabilizing an African country is NOT a one year job. See Somalia and Congo.

Nigeria stabilized Liberia 20 years ago, we stook them from civil war to democratic elections, yet Nigerian army battalion is STILL in Libera today, Nigerian military stabilizes other African countries and we stay there at our own expense to make sure they stay stabilized. You South Africans are NOT loving and caring enough to do that for your fellow African brother nations in crisis. You jump out when it gets hot.

Did you see the inside of the vehicle and observe other complementary equipment? Did you even see the power source for that screen, any device powering it in the remote desert? Did you see any antenna? Did the army show you the whole vehicle equipment load out?

They brought out the TV for the president to use outside the vehicle so that the crown of hundreds of people can stand beside him, or you want to pack that crowd with the president inside one Toyota?

We have moved on. If you have a problem, bring it up on the other thread.
I am not bringing up an old argument, I am informing people on this thread that you are deliberately misleading them that SF is not same as SOF

You should accept corrections when you are proved wrong instead of dumping errors and misinformation on this thread and asking for the matter to be moved to another thread, how about all the errors you dumped in people's minds on this thread, who cleans it up and corrects it for the sake of the people you are misleading?

OUR CHAKA C2 LOOKS NOTHING LIKE THIS JOKE HERE BELOW.
◘ Chaka C2 system is actually INFERIOR to Eagle system.

◘ Chaka C2 is ONLY for brigade sized forces and below....means maximum 5,000 troops coordination limited capability.

"Exercise Ndlovu, now underway, is expected to provide the South African Army and Joint Operations (J Ops) Division a first opportunity to test the recently-delivered Chaka brigade-and-below C2 system . "

http://www.defenceweb.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=20892



◘ Chaka C2 system is ONLY for small brigade sized military operations, NOT an entire battle space the size of Scotland.

Eagle system is for a whole army and air force in a battle space as big as Scotland in REAL-TIME network.

◘ The Eagle system commands and controls NA and NAF 30,000 troops and 100 aircraft spread all over North East Nigeria as big as Scotland.

I am sure the mature minded and honest Africans here will refuse to be misled by immature and glory seeking commentators who believe the rest of Africa is jungle bush while they only like in urban cities. Pity this continent, the kind of people we have at the tail of the map of Africa.

SF are a strategic force therefore are used for strategic missions most of the time. To help archive long term political or military goals of the war.

Mostly operating outside the battlefield(Behind enemy lines, among the enemy etc) to influence events inside the battle space and the minds of those in control. Primary tasks are reccon, man hunt etc.

They are not used as a conventional force. And specialise in guerrilla warfare.

No evolution there.
SF have evolved from fighting Cuba in Angola behind enemy lines, to fighting the likes of Boko Haram that have NO LINES....NO FRONTLINE....SO THERE IS NOTHING CALLED BEHIND ENEMY LINES.

Mission of SF has seen evolution over the years.

Its an acceptable mistake for layment, buy not for military enthusiasts
Only Americans on international forums think the two are different. Other countries like Russia call their commandos SF, so they will understand me while you choose to remain ignorant.

Only American military defines SF and SOF as different. The rest of the world defines them as the same. Live in error because of ego, your choice.

SF and SOF do not mean the same thing, never have and never will.

All SF by definition are trained for COiN since the role of SF is to train and lead insurgencies and conduct irregular operations behind enemy lines

SOF has become propular because of terrorism and COIN and they specialize in speacial operations within the confines of traditional warfare - HVT grabs, exploitation of tactical information etc
Its all confusion created by American use of language. SF and SOF are the same thing all over the world except in USA.

Read this weblink :

http://havokjournal.com/culture/the-difference-between-special-operations-and-special-forces/

Howerver, I will quote another source for easy reading :

"Special forces and special operations forces are military units trained to perform unconventional missions. Special forces, as they would now be recognised, emerged in the early 20th century, with a significant growth in the field during the Second World War.

Depending on the country, special forces may perform some of the following functions: airborne operations, counter-insurgency, "counter-terrorism", covert ops, direct action, hostage rescue, high-value targets/manhunting, intelligence operations, mobility operations, and unconventional warfare. The term “special forces” in the US refers to the US Army's forces while the term “special operation forces” refers to all units. In Russian-speaking countries special forces are typically called spetsnaz, an acronym for "special purpose". Likewise Russian speakers refer to special forces of other nations as spetsnaz, for example US Special Forces would be referred to as Amerikanski spetsnaz in Russian."

They don't in many organizations.

SF trained for conventional warfare?
World War II and Angolan bush war had special forces, are tbose not conventional wars? There is a difference between an unconventional mission/task and an unconventional war. Boko Haram insurgency is an unconventional war. SF do unconventional missions in conventional war, they are majorly trained to operate against a conventional army, but nowadays the sphere is changing, and SF are getting trained to operate against unconventional enemies of mostly Islamic terrorists. Mission Evolution.

1. According to the military definition of C2, an officer + map + radio = C2

2. Its a statement of fact with regards to SSA (in the military sense)

3. Nigeria simply does not poses an intergrated data-link or the ability to wage net-centric warfare - you lack a battle-feild management system, BLUEFOR trackers or advanced information sharing networks. At best Nigeria posses's node-to-node capabilities.

The simple fact of the matter, is that the SANDF posses's the most advanced net-centric warfare capabilities in SSA. Again, some nations may have node-to-node set-ups, but no one else has our level of fusion or integration.

The Eagle Mobile Central Command Post is a vehicle mounted with various Information Communication and Technology equipment. This on board equipment gives the Theatre Commander the opportunity to have first hand information of the battle space. From the vehicle the commander has access to both ground troops and air assets within the battle space.


The Eagle Mobile Central Command Post was borne is a mobile Central Command Post that is designed to link up with the troops in the field, as well as the command hierarchy.

With this, the President, Commander-in-Chief, Minister of Defence, Chief of Defence Staff and the Service Chiefs can have real time contact with the troops in the field. Added to this, the Eagle Mobile Central Command Post affords close monitoring of the activities of the troops and passage of real time information from strategic level to operational and tactical levels.


Furthermore, the platform affords the Chief of Air Staff on the move to have a look at the performance of surveillance or reconnaissance aircrafts.

The project is designed as constructed by Major General C T Olukoju of the Nigerian Army.


http://www.nationalhelm.com/2016/01/photos-checkout-treasured-mobile.html

According to your envious and errornous ranting , the above explained Eagle system that links and manages real time data and visuals of an entire battle space the size of Scotland to a single vehicle command and control centre for coordinating a 30,000 man fully mechanized army plus a 100 aircraft air force is not a net-centric warfare system ?

Unless by SF you refer to SOF units not men in the class of the UK SAS, Green berets etc

Wonder why you guys aren't criticizing the composition of your regular battalions.
SF and SOF mean the same thing all over the world apart from the USA where it is used to mean different types of commandos in different US armed forces. Special Forces and Special Operarion Forces mean the same thing in other countries around the world and SF is the universal language used for these commandos.

What I think the world should be redefinig is SF trained for conventional warfare and SF trained for CT-COIN.
