The British South Africa Police (BSAP) Support Unit, commonly referred to as the "Black Boots," was a specialized anti-terrorist unit of the BSAP during the Rhodesian Bush War. Formed in 1973, the unit was tasked with countering guerrilla activities and was known for its rigorous training and high operational standards. The Support Unit was composed of both European and African personnel, reflecting the multi-racial nature of the BSAP. Operating in a counter-insurgency role, the unit was involved in numerous operations against nationalist guerrillas. The Support Unit's effectiveness was attributed to its intensive training, discipline, and the ability to adapt to changing combat situations. The unit's operations were often characterized by rapid deployment, aggressive tactics, and a focus on intelligence-driven operations. The BSAP Support Unit played a crucial role in the Rhodesian security forces' efforts to combat insurgent activities during the Bush War.
