South African Defense Force (A New World)

The South African Defence Force (SADF) comprises the armed forces of South Africa. The commander of the SADF is appointed by the Prime Minister of South Africa from one of the armed services. They are in turn accountable to the Minister of Defence of the Defence Department.
the Military was formed in 2029 as the successor of the South African National Defence Force and fought as part of British Commonwealth in Japan, Korea, and China during WWIII and part of peacekeeping operations in Japan and Korea as part of British Commonwealth Forces Japan and British Commonwealth Forces Korea respectively.
== Orgaization and structure ==
Overall command is vested in an officer-designated Chief of the SADF (CSADF). Appointed from any of the Arms of Service, they are the only person in the SADF at the rank of General or Admiral, and is accountable to the Minister of Defence, who heads the Department of Defence.
Four armed services make up the forces of the SADF:
* South African Army
* Royal South African Air Force
* Royal South African Navy
* South African Medical Service
The Joint Operations Division is responsible for co-ordinating all Joint Operations involving any or all of the four services. The South African Special Forces Brigade is the only organic unit under the direct command of the Joint Operations division. Unlike most other special forces it is not part of the Army or any other branch of the SADF.
==== Army ====
The South African Army is the ground warfare branch of South African National Defence Force. Its roots can be traced to its formation after the Union of South Africa was created in 1910. The South African military evolved within the tradition of frontier warfare fought by Boer Commando (militia) forces, reinforced by the Afrikaners' historical distrust of large standing armies. It then fought as part of the wider British effort in World War II, but afterwards was cut off from its long-standing Commonwealth ties with the ascension to power of the National Party in South Africa in 1948. The army was involved in a long and bitter counter-insurgency campaign in Namibia from 1966 to 1990. It also played a key role in controlling sectarian political violence inside South Africa during the late 1980s and early 1990s, it was fundamentally changed after 1994, the end of the Apartheid.
starting in 2024, South African Army under EFF-Led Government began carry out the anti-white racism policy, and attempt to take over farms owned by White South Africans, but failed. when the EFF-Led Government released Valkyur across the country, the Army carrying the corpses into Blacksite Facilities across South Africa. on 17 August 2028, South African Incident began, and the Army are found incapable of putting down the rioters due to the Neo-Human fighting capabilities, often resulted in heavy casualties and put significant psychological effect on it's soldiers, which resulted in mutiny and desertion.
after the Incident was resolved, South African Army became part of the Reformed SADF and trained by American Military Instructors.

==== Air Force ====
The Royal South African Air Force (RSAAF) is the air warfare branch of South African Defence Force, with its headquarters in Pretoria. it's predecessor, The South African Air Force was established on 1 February 1920. The Air Force has seen service in World War II and the Korean War. From 1966 the SAAF was involved in providing infantry support in a low intensity war ("The Border War") in Angola, South-West Africa (Namibia) and Rhodesia. As the war progressed, the intensity of air operations increased until in the late 1980s, the SAAF were compelled to fly fighter missions against Angolan aircraft in order to maintain tactical air superiority. On conclusion of the Border War in 1990, aircraft numbers were severely reduced due to economic pressures as well as the cessation of hostilities with neighbouring states. During the apartheid era, it was also known by its Afrikaans name of Suid-Afrikaanse Lugmag (SALM, lit. '"South African Air Force"'), a moniker which has since been deprecated.
it was active in the Pacific Theater of World War III and has fought in the skies of Japan, Korea, and China. and equipped with British Spitfire II and Hurricane II as well American A-10D Thunderbolt II.
