It was mainly composed of black troops and NCOs, originating from virtually every tribe in Angola, led by white South African officers and senior NCOs. No form of racism ever appeared in the unit, which was highly successful in overcoming FAPLA, SWAPO and the Cubans, together with their Soviets advisors, in the thick Angolan bush throughout the years of border war.
