While a total of 14 performance indicators had been provided in the 2012 APP, for 2013, this number has been reduced to four.

While the SAAF has increased the number of learners in planned courses (2786 learners) , this target may not be achieved due budgetary constraints. The reasons for the reduced allocation available for training of personnel are unclear. And the Committee cautions that this may impact on the SAAF's ability to maintain its capabilities.
