Since the days of Cybersim supporting the Staff courses presented in testing plans during the Problem Solving Process,it became clear that it featured vast potential to determine feasibility, acceptability and suitability of plans (FAS test). As technology developed several aspects that were broad dreams and expectations became reality in the late 1990 and early 2000. The specifications for the Chaka Brigade-and-Below -Command-and-Control-System became practical systems that not only enhanced the quality of plans, but also assisted in safety and situational awareness that put South African National Defence Force members in a class of their own. The support of the various specialist teams, be it during planning sessions, or practical field exercises, were always the backbone of the system. The Team became indispensable due to a lack of expertise in the Defence Force, primarily because of the reality that, once an individual became trained-up enough to do the job, the civilian market would usurp them. Simulation save money and prevent wasted efforts. It succeeds in enhancing the quality of plans by highlighting the integrity of critical aspects that can make plan succeed or fail. In defence terms the mistakes are counted in lives. Understanding how the simulation system and all its features work is obvious key to using the system to its fullest capacity. Despite formal training and exposure during formal courses to these systems, the high turnover in personnel requires civilian support that is guaranteed and always available. The team ensured that continuity and created peace of mind during my tenure as Bde Cmdr and SADC Military Component Cmdr.
