765 Battalion

765 Battalion was a unit of the South African Army, formed during the late stages of the Border War, primarily operating in the Northern Transvaal region. Established in the early 1980s, its main role was area force protection, conducting counter-insurgency operations, and supporting internal security along the northern borders. The battalion was composed largely of local recruits and was instrumental in patrolling and securing key routes against insurgent infiltration. With the end of apartheid and the restructuring of the South African Defence Force in the early 1990s, 765 Battalion was eventually disbanded.
