[35] “The SA Army Infantry Formation, which controls the Army Territorial Reserve, commences preparations to close down those units. (Project MOUNTING) Stage 2: Once the preparation has been completed, these units are handed over to Project TSAKANI where a pre-audit is done. The unit is then handed over to the Inspector General at DOD level, where a request to DIMS to de-activate the Unit-code is made. A unit is then considered closed. This whole process can take in excess of a year.”
