SA Engineers, (2 Mobile Watch,  which became 1 Para)

In 1960 fifteen volunteers from the SADF were sent to England at RAF Abington, the majority to train as parachute instructors, some as parachute-packers and one SAAF pilot in the dropping of paratroopers. These men together with an older unit called 2 Mobile Watch formed the nucleus of 1 Parachute Battalion at Tempe in Bloemfontein in April 1961.

The Mobile Watch were SA Engineers Corps and the Units were PF and SA's First line defense. They were employed in Engineer tasks. When 2 MW were renamed to 1 Para, only volunteers went over to para, the rest went back to construction.
