CHANGES Inspection Services increased by 40 per cent from 2003/04 to 2004/05 due to the establishment of the Anti-Fraud Directorate and extra funding allocated for Crime Prevention.

CHANGES The 8,7 per cent, 10,4 per cent and 14,6 per cent increase in the Infantry, Armour and Air Defence Artillery capabilities respectively, is mainly due to the multi-role force design training as to be able to additionally undertake force employment duties in support of internal operations (support to the SAPS). This is necessitated because of the Infantry capability that is deployed in Central Africa. The 9,8 per cent increase in the Artillery capability is mainly due to the commissioning of the Artillery Targeting Acquisitioning System (GBAT) The deployments in the DRC and Burundi also causes the Operational Intelligence subprogramme to increase by 9,7 per cent. The Strategic Direction subprogramme decreases by 10,6 per cent due to the distribution of funds to other capabilities in order to sustain ongoing internal deployments.

Allocation per Sub-Programme: Air Defence (R2 222m) Command Post R 34,0 million (1,5%) Strategic Direction R 5,8 million (0,3%) Operational Direction R 27,6 million (1,2%) Helicopter Capability R 268,2 million (12,1%) Air Combat and Recce Capability R 196,8 million (8,9%) Transport and Maritime Capability R 205,1 million (9,2%) Command and Control Capability R 144,4 million (6,5%) Base Support Capability R 521,6 million (23,5%) Training Capability R 226,6 million (10,2%) Technical Support Services R 489,2 million (22,0%) Ops Support and Int Capability R 103,0 million (4,6%)

CHANGES The decrease of 62,3 per cent in the Operational Direction is mainly due to the distribution of funds for the incentive scheme to all relevant subprogrammes. The 57,1 decrease in the Command Post subprogramme is attributed to the closing down of the forward Air Command Posts (FACP) as well as the closing down of the Air Operations Teams (AOT). These personnel will be incorporated under the Base Support capability, hence the increase of 22,8 per cent increase in this subprogramme. The increase of 61,7 per cent in the Strategic Direction subprogramme is mainly due to the relocation of the Defence Research Centre contract of Rm 2 from the Air Combat subprogramme.

This is evident in the 15 per cent increase in the Maritime Combat capability subprogramme over the medium term. The decrease of 17 per cent in the Maritime Logistic Support capability subprogramme is attributed mainly to the realignment of the personnel allocation due to the closing down of Fleet Maintenance Unit (Durban) and Naval Armament Depot (Durban). The Maritime Training capability subprogramme increase of 15,8 per cent is mainly attributed to the incorporation of the maritime reserve units into this capability (Rm 10).

The increase of 173,2 per cent in the Base Support Capability id due to the establishment of the General Support Base Thaba Tshwane North. This causes the decrease of 14,4 per cent in the Strategic Direction subprogramme, because the base was previously provide for in this subprogramme.
