Status
Permanent Force (Regular)
The South African Permanent Force, created 1913, included the South African Field Artillery (SAFA) and South African Permanent Garrison Artillery (SAPGA) from the outset -- unlike most infantry regiments of the same era (which were Active Citizen Force), artillery began as a Regular/Permanent Force arm. Artillery Formation HQ reorganised April 1999 to include both regular regiments (4 Arty Regt, etc.) and reserve regiments.
