History
[edit]Origin
[edit]16 Reception Depot was activated as the reception depot to service the then Western Cape Command.[1]
The unit was used to mobilize white troops in the greater Western Cape area. This involved:
- the registering of young white males at schools
- the issuing of call-up papers
- confirmation of the recruits arrival
- the transport of these recruits to various allotted training units
By the early 2000s, Commands were no longer responsible for individual recruitment, making Reception Depots essentially redundant.[2]
