Pangolin Emblem of the Commonwealth Monitoring Force CWWBackground and References This article was produced following a request for information about three years ago. It is updated following a recent review with cold war warrior CWW whose photography surpasses my own efforts and who has kindly allowed me to illustrate this article with material he produced. Operation Agila was world news. Christopher  Wayne, the BBC war correspondent at the time was on the same plane out as our contingent and reported as we arrived at Salisbury Airport and were kitting up. Mike Subritsky has given an excellent account of the job at Britains Small Wars. For my part, I was the signals corporal at RHQ 2. Engineer Regiment and prior to joining the regimental contingent I trained them to operate the Clansman HF radio net which was being deployed. We also used kit and training provided by the School of Infantry at Warminster. Commonwealth Monitoring Force CMFThe monitoring force were about 1. Rhodesian Army remained in confined areas  during a short ceasefire, and to enable the politicians to bring thousands of guerilla fighters from three separate armies into assembly places, reducing the  potential for further conflict. This was in order to prevent a massacre as the country was completely infiltrated by the guerilla forces the war had been going on for fifteen years and the ruling power was exhausted. Mike Subritsky reports very clearly as to what it was like monitoring the assembly places and cold warrior has a pictorial archive which adds much detail. Engineer Regiment Group. Engineer Regiment Group comprised a number of two man teams of a senior NCO and a Signaller with the task of liaising with the Rhodesian Army. Contoh Program Desa Siaga. The regimental group worked across an area known as Sub JOC Chiredzi in tactical speak. Sub JOC Chiredzi was a Joint Operation Centre, covering a sizeable portion of the South and East of the country under the command of a Rhodesian brigadier. One of a number of operational areas under the command of the Rhodesian Armed Forces under General Walls. Execution. From arriving at Salisbury, Rhodesia and being kitted out and briefed, we subsequently deployed, Bob my Sunray and me from Salisbury Airport to Fort Victoria by RAF Hercules. RAF Hercules at Salisbury Airport Note aiming mark CWWAfter a short stay, we moved from there by RAF Puma Helicopter to a place called Ngundu Halt on 2. December 1. 97. 9. On the trip out the helicopter dropped off several teams, one at Chiredzi. We joined Alpha company of 9th Battalion the Rhodesia Regiment late in the afternoon on the day before the ceasefire. The following morning I set up our communications equipment in the Company command post, alongside their signals set up. This Company HQ consisted of an ops truck and a derelict store house. Their radio set up comprised the less modern, but still state of the art, Racal Syncal TRA 9. Introduction Add an Auxiliary MP3Ipod Input to Your Cars Stock Radio. ReFitting.

This maintained the rear link back to their Regimental HQ, and they also used VHF radio for the forward company net. CMF Command and Control. While we had been deployed at company level, one of the other teams deployed at Chiredzi to monitor the Rhodesian regimental headquarters. Further up the chain of command, our commanding officer and his entourage were deployed at Rhodesian Army Brigade level. A typical operations room showing 2x. PRC3. 20 Manpacks in operation CWWOur radio net was completely made up of brand new UKRT 3. Meter Mast.   We picked this kit up at Salisbury Airport on the way out so this makes me think the regiment had not yet fully Clansmanised by the time it was deployed on this operation. The way we were deployed meant we could both hear what was happening on the company and regimental nets of our hosts, and respond with our own traffic when required to act or report. My Only Need Is To Organise Return MONITORWe gave new meaning to the word Monitor. Ngundu Halt is a way station on the fort Victoria to Beitbridge Road and a vital supply route at the time, to and from South Africa. Life for the A company, who were still at war when we arrived, changed overnight on the day of the ceasefire 2. December.   The evening we arrived they were dealing with some gunshot injuries that had happened just before and which subsequently led to a casualty evacuation. The following day the action simply died down and a different routine was adopted. The company was dug in on a hillside and had been operating patrols in the area. The routine remained tactical all through the week long ceasefire but relaxed during the day time. Life comprised dry training which we took part in, card games, letter writing and sports, eventually we became better at all these things Self Loading Rifle, General Purpose Machine Gun, EOD and volleyball which made for a fun routine, plus we made some really good friends over a Castle or Lion Lager at sundown. Snakes were not a problem in this location, but insects and spiders were, including some pretty vicious ticks, some rather novel ants, lizards and some bird hunting, and floor cleaning, scavenging spiders. Oh and a troop of Baboon who lived nearby. Radio Operating. The radio work comprised daily reports about military activity in the area, encounters with the terrorists or guerillas for example. Reports were transmitted on schedule, on two fixed frequencies one for day time and one for night time operation. This work was mostly carried out on SSB and sometimes on CW. I had with me enough copper wire to construct a dual frequency dipole built using natural supports and the 8 Meter Mast. In the main these skeds seemed to work well on both frequencies and these seemed to have been calculated for NVIS and up to 9. KM. Radio communications didnt always work or go smoothly. Some of the time there were problems and it took a while to get through to the operators at regimental level. This was frustrating. You could call for five or ten minutes and not get an answer. We put that down to unreliable frequencies, time of day etc and worked with it. During one encounter, which occurred immediately post ceasefire it became imperative to resolve this problem by switching onto the higher formation net in order to pass traffic directly. The incident involved a stick small band of four or five Terrs or terrorists, who were still trying to get to an assembly place but found themselves out on a limb when the ceasefire ended before they made it. They had got lost and subsequently found themselves facing up to police and soldiers from our Rhodesian company. A stand off developed and my Sunray Bob found himself negotiating between the two parties. A kilometre away, in the ops truck, I could hear the reports and orders passing up and down their network. This traffic had become quite excited, and the messages contained orders to end the stand off by all necessary means, and if necessary this meant by slotting them. As the incident went on, this was becoming more and more insistent, and Bob being in the middle, this was not a good position for him. I think nobody close to the situation wanted this to turn into a shooting match. Fortunately a particular message ordering the company to clear the way and open fire was not being acted upon immediately.
