16 Reception Depot was an administrative unit of the Personnel Service Corps of the South African Army.
History[edit]
Origin[edit]
16 Reception Depot was activated as the reception depot to service the then Western Cape Command.[1]
SADF era and the Bush War[edit]
The unit was used to mobilize white troops in the greater Western Cape area. This involved:
- the registering of young white males at schools
- the issuing of call-up papers
- confirmation of the recruits arrival
- the transport of these recruits to various allotted training units
SANDF era[edit]
By the early 2000s, Commands were no longer responsible for individual recruitment, making Reception Depots essentially redundant.[2]
