Mixed: Permanent Force (majority) + Reserve medical battalion groups
Predecessor South African Medical Service (SAMS) formally established 1 July 1979 (became SAMHS 1994). 2022-era structure shows most of the Mobile Military Health Formation as active/Permanent Force, with specific battalion groups (1, 3, 6 Medical Bn Gp) designated Reserve. Which component applied to a given Border War-era record is not determined by this source alone.
