Regiment Universiteit Stellenbosch [Eng: Regiment University of Stellenbosch] (RUS) was formed in Stellenbosch in January 1960 by renaming an existing infantry regiment of the UDF, Regiment Tobie Muller, itself dating from November 1953 In the late 1950s in South Africa, military units were attached to each large university. The concept was for long term students to complete their military training in these units. Training would also be organised so as not to unduly interfere with university work. The Regiment was deployed for border duty in South West Africa as well as for internal unrest mainly in the Cape Province throughout the 1970s.
