EDWARD WEBB
Mr Chairperson, to sketch the situation in the country, in October 1984 the President, he had already employed the South African Defence Force, there was a State of Emergency in October, October 1985 and in June 1986.  In the publications of the State of Emergency, there was many additional powers given to the Special Forces, which showed how serious the situation was internally.  The country was burning.  We still had to act, we could not end our operations.  As far as my own situation is concerned, it came from a conventional power, we had to adapt against anti-insurgents, but above that, there was Special Forces and that is a further fine tuning of these anti-insurgent operations.
	Furthermore, I had to brief myself as far as covert operations were concerned, something that was completely new to me.  There was no course in the Army as far as covert operations were concerned.  My own priorities with Special Forces was firstly the uniform part, established units, busy with operations, operations planning, my second priority was the CCB externally which was also established, busy with operations, planning of new operations and CCB internally as third priority.
	The workload, all the regiments had to brief me.
