| Regiment Dan Pienaar - (1 members)
Regiment Dan Pienaar (RDP) was originally formed at Bloemfontein as 2 Regiment Bloemspruit (2RBS), an offshoot of Regiment Bloemspruit. It was decided to rename 2RBS after the famous WW2 general and Free Stater, General Dan Pienaar on 1 June 1976, so that the unit could begin to form it's own history and traditions. The unit also served in numerous deployments in the Border War in SWA/Namibia and received the Freedom of the city of Bloemfontein in 1981. It was disbanded on 1 April 1997 when the remaining members were incorporated into Regiment Bloemspruit. Link me to this Unit |
