16 Reception Depot was an administrative unit of the Personnel Service Corps of the South African Army.
History
Origin
16 Reception Depot was activated as the reception depot to service the then Western Cape Command.[1]
SADF era and the Bush War
The unit was used to mobilize white troops in the greater Western Cape area. This involved:
- the registering of young white males at schools
- the issuing of call-up papers
- confirmation of the recruits arrival
- the transport of these recruits to various allotted training units
SANDF era
By the early 2000s, Commands were no longer responsible for individual recruitment, making Reception Depots essentially redundant.[2]
