		Breytenbach — founding commander of 1-Reconnaissance Commando (the forerunner to the present Special Forces regiments), 32-Battalion, 44-Parachute Brigade and the South African Army's Guerilla School — became involved in a trust centred on farm safety some years after his retirement in 1987.
		Breytenbach returned to the Eastern Cape after the trust collapsed, but decided to give it one more chance when Erasmus contacted him in 2001 to talk about farm safety.
		Breytenbach said it was clear that there had never been any proper military assessment, for example, targets and target areas.

		Breytenbach's method was a simple one - he instilled in his men a total commitment and loyalty to the unit, rather than to a country or cause, the time-tested formula of the French Foreign Legion.
		Breytenbach's methods of warfare were as unconventional as his methods of obtaining equipment for his unit.
		Breytenbach did not have a very high opinion of UNITA's tactics and describes how on numerous occasions they fed the South Africans incorrect information on FAPLA forces, understating their strength in an effort to encourage the South African troops to become involved.

		It is only fitting then that Jan, together with other distinguished former SADF top brass, should re-emerge in this crisis to help organise SA’s sadly beleaguered farmers, White and Black, into much-needed self-protection networks, armed and trained to face the terror that has descended upon them.
		Jan has just returned from an extensive tour of the country towns and farming communities of the Eastern Cape.

		Many of the FNLA troops thus driven out of their homeland found a refuge in what was destined to become the most feared unit in the South African Defence Force,if not the whole of Africa.
		The Unit was started by Colonel Jan Breytenbach from the remnants of this defeated FNLA cadre, and was known initially as Bravo Group and was later redesignated 32 Battalion after Breytenbach refused to abandon them as ordered.
		The Unit was very fortunate to have Breytenbach as their first OC and the doctrine of operating behind enemy lines and hitting them when and where they least expected it, remained one of the cornerstones of the Unit.

		This brought both companies to a complete halt, as they were unable to move under the accurate, and close, fire of the guns, and the Buccaneer on CAS duty could not conduct a strike on the guns for fear of hitting the paratroopers close by.
		At around 12h00, Colonel Jan Breytenbach was informed of a signal from one of the Buccaneers on CAS duty which indicated what turned out to be a Cuban reinforced mechanised battalion was moving up the road from Techamutete to Cassinga.
		In the face of the oncoming armoured column, Breytenbach ordered a thin defensive line, but realised the lightly-armed paratroopers stood little chance against the armoured vehicles and prepared to fall-back to an emergency HLZ while calling urgently for air support.

		Accoding to Peter Stiff "Silent war",(Stiff is a good friend of Jan Breytenbach), Ward was sent with his Recce Gang to Mozambique, a country, that was not at war with South Africa.
		Jan Breytenbach was the founder of the 32 Buffalo Battalion, comprising the remnants of Holden Roberto's FNLA movement, a mercenary group, that was fiercely loyal to their white officers, however had no loyalty to any country or government, thus showing all the characteristics of mercenaries.
		I'm not sure, however, whether Breytenbach's state immunity (remember, he can't be guilty of invading Angola himself) would follow the same principle.
