		The Selous Scouts have for the first time admitted that thev have been used on hot pursuit raids into Mozambique including the highly spectacular and tactically successful raid on the Nyadzonya terrorist training camp last August in which over 300, and possibly more than 500, terrorists were killed.
		Editor: The breakdown and build-up training technique used for the training of the Selous Scouts appears to be very similar to that used by the Portuguese for the training of their Comandos.

		Though the cover mission for the Selous Scouts remained the tracking of terrorists, in reality the unit was a pseudo-terrorist unit, using turned terrorists and Black soldiers from the Rhodesian African Rifles, as well as White soldiers in fl face make-up from the Rhodesian SAS, Rhodesian Light Infantry and other units.
		Selous Scouts couldn’t count on ready resupply, for example, so early on the fledgling Selous Scout had to learn to take his food how and when it came.
		Scouts were trained, when under fire from ambush, immediately to direct short bursts of fire at all likely places of concealment for ambushers within their arc of fire.

	The IVA: The Selous Scouts
		The original Selous Scouts was an armoured car regiment in the army of the ill-fated Central African Federation (which linked Southern Rhodesia (now called Zimbabwe), Northern Rhodesia (Zambia) and Nyasaland (Malawi)) and whereas this unit disappeared when that political mistake ended in 1964, the name did not.
		The Selous Scouts, despite the invective poured upon it by ignorant journalists, was an integrated unit, meaning that both fls and whites served in its ranks side by side -- the ratio was about eight Blacks to two White troops.
		Just the Scouts were denied an official disbandment, so it has been denied even part of the honour to which it is entitled and so this website helps assure the Selous Scouts proud record does not fade.

		According to then Major Reid-Daly the role of the Selous Scouts was to infiltrate the tribal population and the terrorist networks, pinpoint the terrorist camps and bases and then direct conventional forces in to carry out the actual attacks.
		Therefore, the Selous Scouts were merely the instruments of an overly aggressive and punitive strategy, simply directed at killing as many insurgents as possible and punishing the rural fl population to force them to desist from support for the insurgent forces.
		The problems encountered and deviations from the concept were less the result of the Selous Scouts and Special Branch than they were the result of the absence of a coherent Security Force counterinsurgency strategy and a punitive approach to the whole problem of the insurgency.

	Scouts to the Rescue
		Named after famed Rhodesian hunter and bushman, Frederick C. Selous, the Scouts were a mixed-race unit formed by the Rhodesian government in 1973 in response to the civil war being waged by communist insurgents.
		They generally lived a tough, hand-to-mouth existence and were acutely aware that while they were putting their lives on the line every day, their leaders were often living in lush accommodations, far removed from any danger, traveling in high diplomatic circles and pilfering the money and supplies intended for them.
		The "pseudo team" concept, employed so successfully by the Selous Scouts, should be considered a viable option for countering the guerilla campaign currently hobbling the introduction of democracy in Iraq.

		On a couple of occasions, the whole of the Scouts, the whole of the SAS and the whole of the RLI were used in a big operation, resulting in literally thousands of enemy casualties.

		Located astride the main Dar to Mbeya highway, to the north of Selous Game Reserve and only 283 km from Dar-es-Salaam, the park is an important educational centre for students of ecology and conservation, having been established to protect the environment and resident animals.
		The rapid increase in poaching for ivory and rhino horn in the 1980s led to a catastrophic decline in Tanzania's elephant and rhino populations, and the Government approached the international community for assistance to conserve its wildlife.
		Its objectives are to safeguard the existence and ecological integrity of the reserve as a conservation area, and to significantly reduce conflicts between the reserve and the local population by encouraging a programme of sustainable wildlife utilisation by local villages.

		Sentinel Selous Scouts (Psuedo Operations) 11/18/2005 9:47:48 PM I guess what made Rhodesian so effective is that they combined a undercover or psuedo guerilla team to locate teams that had infiltrated their contry, and a air-mobile strike force, called a fire force, to deploy rapidly to kill the highly mobile guerillas.
		But, one of the great strengths of the selous scouts was their ability to recruit native Shona, and Ndebele speakers, who could actually talk the talk.
