| Description: | ARMY TRAINING - SOUTH AFRICAN Good material of troops doing training, both PT and landing on beaches under fire. South Africa. Various shots of South African troops. First they are lined up for inspection. Troops do PT / Physical Training exercises throwing large logs above their heads. They cross a river on a rope bridge. A soldier slides down a rope slide across the river (looks a little like an assault course). Troops cross a stretch of water in small rowing boats. They are under fire to make the exercise seem more realistic. Shots of a solider firing a machine gun. The soldiers come on shore - they look like commandoes. Great shot of soldier running towards camera with rifle and bayonet aimed at viewer. | |
