 This accounts for the unit insignia including at the top the number "2" in infantry colours, with the St Barbara's lightning flash representing the artillery in the middle and armour's old heraldic colours at the bottom.These elements and the Transport Park and quartermaster were based at Rooikop, a distance inland because of the rust at the coast.Since 1981, national servicemen of the SWA Territorial Force were also trained by the battalion.
