4.2 The Force Employment programme received a total allocation of R3.28 billion and spending will mainly be on conducting foreign peacekeeping operations, border safeguarding operations and other contingency based deployments operations as well as anti-piracy operations. Spending on peacekeeping operations in CAR, assistance to Mozambican Defence Force in combatting piracy in the Mozambique Channel, and increased deployments in foreign countries, will see the allocation rocketing from R80 million for the 2013/14, to R90 million in 2014/15 financial year. Targets for the Support to the People subprogramme relating to boarder safeguarding has been adjusted, and the number of units required to effectively patrol our borderline has been reduced from 15 to 13 unit s over the next three year period. This is disconcerting since the number of units necessary for the effective patrol of borders is 19. This effectively meant that this strategic priority will not be achieved.
