SA Navy Reserves

The South African Navy Reserves are a part-time branch of the South African Navy, made up of civilian volunteers who support and supplement regular naval forces. They undergo military training to maintain readiness and can be called upon during national emergencies, humanitarian missions, or maritime security operations. The reserves offer individuals an opportunity to serve their country while balancing civilian careers, and they contribute skills in engineering, logistics, and communications, enhancing the overall capabilities of South Africa’s maritime defense.
