Financial Years 2009/10 and 32 2010/11 (All Amounts in R’000) ----- ###### Foreword by the Honourable Minister of Defence and MIllitary Veterans, L.N. Sisulu, MP The mandate of the Department of Defence is to support the developmental state and ensure that the Defence Force can contribute to the socio-economic needs of the country. Where possible, assistance is to be given in maintaining infrastructure. The creation of a new Department of Military Veterans, with its own Accounting Offi cer will provide the guarantee that the rights, the acknowledgement and the material provisions accorded to the men and women who fought for freedom in South Africa, are given. It is not enough to pay lip service to the men and women who were prepared to sacrifi ce their all. The level of pension payouts, health care and other social benefi ts will be interrogated, so that realistic provision can be made for this important sector falling under our Department of Defence. To be able to carry out these tasks, the DOD will be looking at ways and means of rejuvenating its landward forces. Since new military equipment was provided for the Air Force and Navy in the fi rst term of our democratic dispensation in the form of the strategic defence packages, it is now the turn of the South Africa Army to be provided with the equipment it needs to carry out its many and varied tasks. Decisions in this regard will be based on a careful examination of what equipment is needed over the next 30 years, the upgrading of our technical skills base and the relevant resources that will be needed. The conditions of service of members of the SANDF must be understood within the context of the level of sacrifi ce and commitment they are expected to make. The Defence Force Service Commission will ensure that this high level of commitment is recognised by the State as a separate and distinct dispensation. The Department of Defence will attend to the infrastructure of the department, with a special attention to its facilities. Discussions are in process to transfer this area of responsibility from the Department of Public Works. Developments in our region and on the world stage have necessitated that the SANDF participate in borderline control, assisting the police to protect our borders, both, land, sea and air. The creation of sustainable communities must be supported by accelerating the process of the land restitution programme. The upgrading of the MSDS programme must have greater focus on its outcomes. The Department of Defence will resuscitate the Works Regiment which would facilitate work opportunities for Military Veterans and at the same time ensuring capacity in the Department of Defence as soon as the responsibilities of the Department of Public Works are transferred. The Constitution of South Africa is unequivocal with regard to the role of defence. To this end we are duty bound to ensure that we provide combat ready forces to deal with any internal or external threat. ----- Consistent with our holistic vision of defence, and in line with South Africa’s interests, our work must complement and re-enforce the goals of our foreign policy. To this end, sustaining our peace keeping eff orts in line with our Government’s priority of stabilising the continent and strengthening our region, remains one of our priorities. This will include working with other Government Departments on cross cutting issues of post confl ict resolution and security sector reform. The world has acknowledged our manifest success in this area of activity and South Africa continues to lead. (L.N. SISULU) MINISTER OF DEFENCE AND MILITARY VETERANS, MP ----- ###### INTRODUCTION BY THE ACCOUNTING OFFICER: ACTING SECRETARY FOR DEFENCE It is again my pleasure to present the detail of the Minister’s policy as provided in the foreword. The medium term focus will concentrate on the realisation of a defence mandate-driven force design and address rightsizing and rejuvenating human capital. The long term focus is on attaining the optimal level of competencies, technology and force structure to defend and protect South Africa and its territorial integrity. This Strategic Plan document comprehensively outlines the mandate of the Department and its obligations towards fulfi lling its political, administrative, operational and corporate governance duties during the FY 22010/11 - 2012/2013 cycles. The Plan is informed by the Medium Term Strategic Framework 2009-2014 of the Government whose central objective is to set the country on a higher and sustainable growth trajectory by the end of 2014. The decisions and priority guidelines of the January 2010 Cabinet Lekgotla as well as the pronouncements of the President in the June 2009 State of the Nation Address also form the basis of this Plan. Achieving more with less is what defi nes the Defence portfolio, as well as its execution of the mandate that is premised on the protection of territorial integrity in line with the applicable domestic laws and international laws governing the use of force. From a domestic perspective the Department has actively contributed to the organic growth of entities within the Defence portfolio. Notably, towards the end of the 2009 calendar year a new Department that provides for the rekindling of human dignity within the Military veterans was proclaimed. The Plan takes into consideration the primary role and mandate of the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) as encapsulated in the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996. Typically, protection of people and territorial integrity, has, during the previous fi nancial year, seen the Department, in line with the Cabinet decision, invoking the provisions of Section 18(1) (d) of the Defence Act, 2002 that provides for the SANDF to support the South African Police Service (SAPS) with the role of borderline control. In line with this provision of the Defence Act, 2002, Cabinet recently determined that the SANDF should play a supportive role to the SAPS in safeguarding the country’s land, sea and air borderlines. With regards to internal deployment, the SANDF is prepared to support Government departme nts in fi ve operations over the MTEF period, in terms of border safeguarding, safety and security, disaster aid and relief, search and rescue and the 2010 Federation International Football Association (FIFA) World Cup. Joint, Interdepartmental and Multinational exercises are critical for force readiness and 24 exercises are planned to take place over the MTEF period. In pursuit of Defence Diplomacy as a strategy to rekindle territorial integrity, the Department of Defence’s role as an honest peace broker has been profi led by its strategic positioning as a secretariat ----- for the ICTS cluster. In addition to fulfi lling the international obligations arising from several defence cooperation agreements with neighbouring countries, our second decade of democracy will be marked by South Africa assuming non-permanent membership of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). This demonstration of confi dence and faith in South Africa’s commitment to advancing Africa’s interest in multilateral institutions certainly obligates the DOD to continue playing a leading and exemplary role in international peace missions and confl ict resolution. The ongoing debate on the burgeoning relationship between the African Union Peace and Security Council (PSC) and UNSC on matters relating to peacekeeping on the continent will require the DOD’s attention and support to South Africa’s diplomatic activities. During the fi nancial year, the Department will continue to provide support to United Nations (UN) and African Union (AU) initiatives aimed at promoting peace, stability and security in Africa. It is in view of this commitment that the role of the DOD will continue in all security related regional and continental activities. Security, peace and stability in the region and the continent are promoted not only through peace support operations, but also through humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, as well as post confl ict reconstruction and training. The SANDF prepares capabilities, which include land, air, maritime and military health support, annually to support UN and AU peace support operations, by ensuring the deployment and support of an average of 2 102 members per day over the MTEF period. Current deployments are mainly in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Sudan. The deployment in Burundi was terminated on 30 June 2009 with a small contingent remaining to see to the back-loading of equipment to South Africa. Defence foresight initiatives will be pursued to realise a Defence Force that is capable of defending South Africa at any time, by giving eff ect to the one force, core force and growth force concepts with an appropriate balance between Regulars, Reserves, Public Service Act Personnel (PSAP) and members from the Military Skills Development System (MSDS). 106 500 Reserve members could be called up over the MTEF period and through the MSDS, the DOD aims to equip 11 140 young South Africans with basic military skills per year. There is a need for the consolidation of our eff orts in utilising the best practises and strategies to strengthen the Department’s administrative, operational and corporate governance mechanisms, particularly the Public Finance Management Act (Act No. 1 of 1999) and public service acts and regulations. This focus will enabled the Department to work towards clearing the remaining qualifi ed audits and ensuring that no qualifi ed reports are received in the near future. This edition refl ects yet another innovative attempt to improve the content of the Strategic Plan. This Strategic Plan has been rearranged to ensure that the legislative requirements are complied with. The Strategic Plan is packaged into three chapters, with the accompanying appendices that refl ect performance tables for each of the DOD outputs. Further Appendices are included that provide a link with other plans, as required by law. An overview of resource plans that support the DOD’s corporate plan is provided. Detail regarding public-private partnerships the DOD is involved are elucidated, together with the concomitant fi nancial 1 At the time of writing, the African Union through the medium of the African Group in New York has voted South Africa to assume the two year non-permanent membership of the Security Council. The vote is expected to be endorsed and accepted unanimously by the current Security Council in October 2010. Thus SA is to serve in the Security Council in 2011-2012. ----- obligations. To ensure compliance with section 52 of the PFMA, 1999, an overview of public entities that report to the Executive Authority is presented. In this regard the Strategic Plan anticipates the establishment of a permanent autonomous Defence Force Service Commission as a public entity reporting to the Executive Authority. The Strategic Plan further anticipates some migration of the HR component that encapsulates the Military Veterans to the New Department. As such, it is anticipated that a separate detailed Strategic Plan will be developed to inform the expenditure, migration of assets that will characterise the promulgated Department. The Department of Defence will, over the MTEF focus on the stated objectives with the fi rm aim of renewing its mandate and enhancing its work. This work remains fi rmly rooted in the continued prioritisation of our domestic agenda, as identifi ed by government’s priority areas. Through the implementation of the Plan, the Department of Defence will continue with its role and contribution to peace and security engagements in the region and the African continent. As outgoing Acting Secretary for Defence, I wish to thank the Minister for the co-operation and the confi dence she displayed in me during my period as Acting Secretary for Defence. I further wish to thank colleagues of the Department of Defence that I engaged with in pursuance of the various portfolios I led, ranging from human resources, policy and planning to defence international relations, to mention but a few. I am confi dent that we, together with all the current and intended public entities that service the defence mandate, will, work together to advance the goals and outcomes of the Defence and Military Veterans Portfolio. I humbly present the Strategic Plan that details the interpretation and execution of the Policy that has been defi ned for Defence to pursue in realising the priorities set for the defence portfolio in giving substance and embracing the priorities of Government . Honourable Minister It is my pleasure and privilege to submit to you the Strategic Plan 2010 (MTEF FY 2010/11 – FY 2012/13) of the Department of Defence in terms of Section 38(n), read together with Regulation 5 developed in terms of Section 76 of the Public Finance Management Act, (Act No 1 of 1999). (T.E. MOTUMI) ACTING SECRETARY FOR DEFENCE: DEPUTY DIRECTOR-GENERAL ----- ###### CHAPTER 1 STRATEGIC OVERVIEW ###### INTRODUCTION This Strategic Plan is developed within a landscape characterised by a sharper focus on monitoring and evaluation aimed at ensuring that together we achieve more with less. Further, the Strategic Plan attempts to refl ect on outcomes-based planning, which place the deliverables of defence within the broad Medium Term Strategic Framework (MTSF) and identifi ed outcome areas. From a corporate governance perspective, it is worth noting that the development of the Strategic Plan is informed by primarily, Regulation 5 of the Treasury Regulations developed in terms of section 47 of the Public Finance Management Act, 1999 (Act 1 of 1999) read together with Part III of the Regulations developed in terms of the Public Service Act, 1994, as amended. Further, corrective actions emanating from the various audits have been considered in developing this Strategic Plan. From a corporate citizenship perspective, the Department has, in the spirit of accelerated service delivery, deepened partnerships with other organs of State, thus contributing to revenue generation, whilst sharing the distinctive competencies that the Department possesses. Such interventions typically refl ect the Department’s sustainability strategy during peacetime, in pursuit of the “support to the people” objective of Defence. The role of the Department in international aff airs, including defence diplomacy and security, has been profi led by the appointment of the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans as head of the International Co-operation Trade and Security (ICTS) Cluster. This strategic positioning of Defence within the Government cluster system, as the lead department of the International Co-operation Trade and Security, places opportunities for Defence to create collective ownership of its priorities. In addition to fulfi lling the international obligations arising from several defence co-operation agreements with neighbouring countries, our second decade of democracy will be marked by South Africa’s return to assuming non-permanent membership of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). This demonstration of confi dence and faith in South Africa’s commitment to advancing Africa’s interest in multilateral institutions certainly obligates the DOD to continue playing a leading and exemplary role in international peace missions and confl ict resolution. The ongoing debate on the burgeoning relationship between the African Union Peace and Security Council (PSC) and UNSC on matters relating to peacekeeping on the continent will require the DOD’s attention and support to South Africa’s diplomatic activities. Whilst the outcomes-based performance model advocates for one department, one outcome area for streamlining, it is, however, recognised in this Strategic Plan that the Department is and will continue to contribute to other outcome areas, wherein the defence objectives, and specifi cally the military objectives, fi nd expression. This is evidenced by the increased participation in the MSDS as well as borderline control, in response to Cabinet’s decision to redeploy the SANDF. The aforementioned interventions exist outside the ICTS cluster. 2 At the time of writing, the African Union through the medium of the African Group in New York has voted South Africa to assume the two year non-permanent membership of the Security Council. The vote is expected to be endorsed and accepted unanimously by the current Security Council in October 2010. Thus SA is to serve in the Security Council in 2011-2012. ----- Cabinet has determined that the SANDF should play a supportive role to the SAPS in safeguarding the country’s land, sea and air borderlines. Section 18(1) (d) of the Defence Act, 2002 provides for the SANDF to support the SAPS in the role of borderline control, as apposed to border post control which is a multiagency responsibility. This Strategic Plan is developed against a backdrop of the establishment of the Department of Military Veterans Aff airs as a separate department by way of Proclamation in the Government Gazette No. 32844. The Strategic Plan anticipates a new department with its own strategic focus and plans to drive its mandate. However, for these purposes of planning, some elements of the Military Veterans will be refl ected in the Human Resources Support Services Programme under the Administration Programme The Strategic Plan is packaged into three chapters, with the accompanying appendices that refl ect performance tables for each of the DOD outputs. Further Appendices are included that provide a link with other plans, as required by law. Chapter 1 provides the constitutional and legislative mandate of the DOD, the translation of the mandate to defence objectives, the structure that provides for the implementation of the mandate, the defence’s strategic approach and the approach to systemic performance management. Chapter 2 provides an overview on the alignment of the DOD with the broad Government goals and outcomes to accelerate the creation of a better Africa and better world. Chapter 3 provides the translation of the DOD’s mandate into defence outputs in a logical framework approach with the accompanying exposition on the fi nancial resources, as well as anticipated public– private partnerships, per programme. The detailed performance information is provided for in the tables. An overview of resource plans that support the DOD’s corporate plan is provided. Detail regarding public-private partnerships the DOD is involved in are elucidated, together with the concomitant fi nancial obligations. To align Strategic Planning with reporting requirements, a table providing the information is provided in the Appendices. Lastly, in line with the provisions of section 52 of the PFMA read together with TR 29.2.1. and 29.2.2, the public entities that fall within the defence portfolio have been identifi ed. This is aimed at enhancing the utilisation of the applicable entities to advance the mandate of defence, through service delivery agreements that will be monitored. ###### CONSTITUTIONAL AND LEGISLATIVE MANDATE OF THE DOD The DOD derives its mandate primarily from Section 200(2) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 (Act 108 of 1996), as well as Section 227 of the Interim Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1993 (Act 200 of 1993). The mandate is given substance by the Defence Act, 2002 (Act 42 of 2002), the White Paper on Defence (1996), the Defence Review (1998) and delegated legislation. ----- ###### DEFENCE CORE OBJECTIVES The mandate for Defence to defend and protect South Africa and to support broader Government initiatives, translates into the following three Defence Objectives: - To defend and protect South Africa, its sovereignty, its territorial integrity, its national interests and its people in accordance with the Constitution and principles of international law regulating the use of force. - To contribute to freedom from fear and want, including the promotion of human security, both nationally and internationally. - To contribute to a better life for the people of South Africa. In order to foreground the delivery of the defence mandate the following key tenets provide a basis for good business practice and governance: - The execution of defence commitments as ordered and funded by Government. - The provision of contingency-ready and cost-eff ective defence capabilities as specifi ed by approved policy. - Sound management of the Department. - The administration of the DOD within the prescripts of the law, regulatory framework and Government policy. - The assurance of sustainability, continuous improvement of output quality and the reduction of the cost of DOD processes, as well as the accounting thereof. - The assurance of the continuous quality improvement of people in the DOD. - The assurance of quality command and management information in the DOD. - The assurance of continuous quality improvement of DOD equipment and facilities. ###### STRUCTURE AND POST ESTABLISHMENT OF THE DOD Given the complex nature of the defence function, the DOD’s force design and force structure are reviewed on a regular basis in order to ensure that the DOD is able to execute its mandate and that it is aligned with the Department’s objectives, the budget allocation, ordered commitments and likely missions. As indicated in Figure 1 below, the DOD comprises the Defence Secretariat, established in terms of Section 204 of the Constitution, 1996 (Act 108 of 1996) and the SANDF, established in terms of Section 224(1) of the Interim Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1993 (Act 200 of 1993). The Secretary for Defence is the Head of the Department, the Accounting Offi cer, the Information Offi cer and the principal advisor to the Minister of Defence on defence policy matters. The Chief of the SANDF commands the SANDF under the authority of the President and in accordance with the directions of the Minister of Defence, pursuant to Section 202(2) of the Constitution. The Chief of the SANDF is the principal advisor to the Minister of Defence on military policy matters. The Secretary for Defence and the Chief of the SANDF, operate under the direction of the Ministry of Defence act within their areas of responsibility to provide strategic direction to the DOD. Further reorganisation will be pursued in the year ahead by giving substance to the Minister of Defences pronouncement during the 2009 Budget Vote in such a way that the statutory entities within Defence are able to execute their mandate eff ectively. ----- Figure 1: The Macro-Structure of the DOD, as approved on 15 August 2008 by the Minister of Defence ###### VISION Eff ective defence for a democratic South Africa. ###### MISSION To provide, manage, prepare and employ defence capabilities commensurate with the needs of South Africa as regulated by the Constitution, national legislation and Parliamentary and Executive direction. The above will be provided through the proper management, provision, preparedness and employment of defence capabilities, which are in line with the domestic and global needs of South Africa. ###### MISSION SUCCESS FACTORS For the DOD to achieve its mission, it is essential that it is managed strategically. As part of this process, certain factors that are fundamental to achieving success were identifi ed. The Mission Success Factors (MSFs) of the DOD are as follows: - National consensus on defence. - Excellent strategic direction. - Excellent resource management. - Eff ective combat forces and support forces. 3 The structure indicated above is being reviewed in order to align with the defence mandate and the Minister’s intent. ----- - Professionalism in the conduct of operations. - Successful implementation of the transformation process. ###### THE DOD’S VALUE SYSTEM The DOD has committed itself to organisational values that are rooted in individual values, codes of conduct and unit cohesion. Individual Values - Patriotism - Loyalty - Human dignity - Professionalism - Integrity - Leadership - Accountability ###### ORGANISATIONAL VALUES In delivering the defence mission, the DOD will follow the principles set out below: - Service Standards Service standards are based on clear direction and strong leadership. Our priority is, and will always be, to maximise our defence capability and our contribution to peace and security. We will maintain high standards of excellence and professionalism in everything we do. - Excellence We will build on what we do well and actively foster a climate of success. We will invest in our people and encourage innovation. We will provide the right incentives and recognise individual and team contributions. - Ethics We will adopt and encourage reasonable working practices. We will not be defl ected by the demands of vested interests. We will foster fairness and trustworthiness in all that we do. We will not ignore diffi cult issues. - Openness and Transparency We will make clear communication and better understanding our priorities. We will ensure that our messages are understood. We will listen to clients’ concerns and make sure we understand what they are saying to us. We aim to create a climate of trust and transparency in our decision-making. - Consultation Rooted in Eff ective and Effi cient Partnership and Collaboration We will encourage and improve links with other Government departments and other relevant organs of state. We will strengthen partnerships with industry, allies and the community at large. We will promote collaboration within the DOD, harmonise activities and systems and, where sensible, share knowledge. ----- - People We will uphold the values as espoused in the founding principles of the Constitution and further expressed in the Bill of Rights. - Teamwork Within the DOD we are one team and embrace one purpose. We will debate issues fully, whilst rigorously representing our individual responsibilities. Our overriding aim, however, is to reach conclusions that are best for defence as a whole, and then to act on them. - Accountability We will create a learning organisation in which all employees seek and share knowledge and information, whilst committing themselves to personal growth. We will set the example and lead the way. We will lead by example and infl uence others to follow these principles. We will be sensible regarding the demands we make on people and recognise the unique commitments they make. - Discipline We will consistently strive towards upholding a high level of discipline. We will individually and collectively rebuild the profi le and image of the defence establishment as the best disciplined profession. ###### DEFENCE STRATEGIC APPROACH ###### DEFENCE STRATEGY The Defence Strategy provides the strategic direction towards the achievement of the Department’s core objectives that are aimed at attaining its vision: “To provide eff ective defence for a democratic South Africa.” Taking cognisance of the rapidly changing geostrategic and macro-economic environment, that places limitations on the defence capability to respond appropriately, the Defence Strategy will endeavour to meet these ever-changing challenges, especially since they have implications for human security. The strategy acknowledges that many of the human security threats are non-military in nature and, as such, assume collateral architecture. The foundation of democratic governance has been characterised by eff orts aimed at pioneering the institutionalisation of civil-military relations. In the coming period, the Defence Strategy should strengthen and consolidate the sound basis upon which civil-military relations were founded. Such a Defence Strategy will underscore the need for the requisite resources to provide for both the core and secondary permutations of the constitutional mandate, as espoused in Sections 200 and 204 of the Constitution. ###### OVERVIEW OF DEFENCE DIPLOMACY Government’s national strategic vision of a “better life for all” and a peaceful and prosperous African continent continues to enjoin the DOD to constantly carve a meaningful role in global diplomacy. As such, though diplomacy may be considered the antithesis to a war fi ghting machinery, defence diplomacy remains the cornerstone of the DOD’s contribution to Government’s foreign policy agenda. Therefore, Government’s foreign policy posture has seen the DOD signing defence co-operation agreements with numerous African states, if not all, as a key confi dence and security building measure. ----- In pursuance of the Strategic Priority 8 of the MTSF, in particular the advancement of the African Agenda, the DOD, through its Defence International Aff airs Division and Defence Foreign Relations, will strive to contribute to strengthen regional mechanisms for peace and security in the southern African sub-region and the continent at large. Defence diplomacy will continue to be pursued in various forms including active participation in bilateral and multilateral forums aimed at enhancing mutually benefi cial defence relations in the continent. The strengthening of the institutional capacity of the AU and SADC, through means such as seconding suitably qualifi ed and experience offi cers to ensure eff ective response to continental challenges, will also feature prominently in the DOD’s diplomatic initiatives. Given South Africa’s geostrategic prominence in global aff airs and its concomitant leadership role in forums, such as the UN and the Non-Aligned Movement among others, the resolution of confl icts through peaceful negotiations means that the strategic role and participation of Defence as the country’s honesty peace broker and the largest troop contributor, both domestically, regionally and continentally, will be further entrenched during this decade, in order to respond to a growing international responsibility as dictated by the country’s foreign policy on peace keeping. ###### MILITARY STRATEGY The Defence Strategy directs the Military Strategy of the SANDF. The Military Strategy describes the three Military Strategic Objectives of defence, as well as ways and means of achieving the objectives. In essence, the Military Strategy’s purpose is to give substance to section 200(2) of the Constitution, namely, “To defend and protect the Republic, its territorial integrity and its people, in accordance with the Constitution and the principles of international law regulating the use of force.” The Military Strategy, which is depicted in Figure 2, informs the Force Preparation and Force Employment strategies. Figure 2: Military Strategy in Context ----- ###### MILITARY STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES (ENDS) Military Strategic Objectives constitute the ends that are to be achieved by the SANDF. These objectives are directed at the full range of military and other ordered commitments. The following objectives guide the composition of the Force Design and Force Structure of the SANDF: - To enhance and maintain comprehensive defence capabilities To provide self-defence according to international law against any aggression that endangers the stability of South Africa. - To promote peace, security and stability in the region and on the Continent To provide for internal and external force deployments to enhance security in support of decisions by parliament. - To support the people of South Africa Provide support to the people of South Africa through operations other than war, during disaster, emergency and humanitarian need circumstances where the responsible State departments do not have adequate capacity to do so. ###### MILITARY STRATEGIC CONCEPTS (WAYS) Military Strategic Concepts describe the ways to be followed in order to meet the Military Strategic Objectives. The Military Strategy captures the following strategic concepts through the mission-based approach: - Mission-essential Training. The training of personnel in the essential knowledge and skills required to execute tasks necessary to accomplish prescribed missions. - Mission-trained Force. A force prepared and supported to execute prescribed missions (within the parameters of the selective engagement concept). - Selective Engagement. This concept of selective engagement indicates that the South African National Defence Force will execute all the prescribed missions, but will be selective in terms of the extent to which operations and tasks, emanating from these missions, will be executed. This concept implies that appreciated risks will have to be taken. - Strategic Positioning. This concept indicates that the South African National Defence Force is willing to proactively establish a sound security environment, through actions such as infl uencing political and military foreign relations actions and the pre-placement of appropriate military capabilities. The SANDF will use the mission-based approach **_(that can also be described as the mandate driven_** **_approach) to achieve the Military Strategic Objectives of the DOD. This implies that the various missions_** that the state requires the SANDF to conduct will be used to direct force preparation, training and exercises. ###### MILITARY STRATEGIC CAPABILITIES (MEANS) The Strategic Capabilities of the SANDF constitute the means of the Military Strategy. These consist of the following: - C4I3RS (command and control, communications, computers, information, intelligence, infrastructure, reconnaissance and surveillance) capability. - Balanced conventional war fi ghting capability. - Light mobile capability. - Support capability. ----- ###### MISSIONS Missions are combinations of tasks that should be performed to achieve the Military Strategic Objectives. The missions determine the capabilities that must be acquired, prepared and supported. As such, missions guide the allocation of resources. The types of missions undertaken include conventional, non-conventional, unconventional, health support, peace support operations, special operations, special force operations, defence diplomacy, support to other Government departments, presidential tasks, disaster relief and humanitarian assistance. ###### MILITARY STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION The contextual environment is characterised by uncertainties and unpredictability. A fl exible approach to defence planning necessitates a Military Strategy that takes account of strategic uncertainties. Flexibility is achieved through the utilisation of multi-role preparation, skills-based capability and the Reserve Force. The Military Strategic Objectives, the Military Strategic Concepts and the Military Strategic Capabilities are not to be seen as separate parts of the Military Strategy, but as an integrated system. ###### FORCE PREPARATION STRATEGY The Force Preparation Strategy determines the level of defence and readiness at which to prepare the SANDF in order to use the defence allocation towards the correct output, and avoid fruitless expenditure. The Force Preparation Strategy primarily provides for the preparation of Regulars for deployment on ordered missions, supplemented by Reserves when required. Additional forces will only be prepared when necessary to deal with ad hoc crises or when a State of National Defence is declared. The preparation of forces other than that for ordered commitments is divided into the following three categories: - Immediate forces for unexpected or sudden crises requiring a quick response. - Second-line forces for the above, consisting primarily of Reserves, who will also provide most of the conventional landward capability of the SANDF. - Heightened force levels required for a war of national survival will be provided by the mobilisation of general Reserves. ###### FORCE EMPLOYMENT STRATEGY The Force Employment Strategy primarily directs the conduct of operations by the SANDF in support of Government policy and its Programme of Action initiatives. The Force Employment Strategy is based on the following approaches: - A multinational approach aimed at the establishment, structuring, staffi ng, equipping, operating, exercising, sustaining and empowering of regional structures to foster security. - An interdepartmental approach with the focus on improving co-operation. - A phased approach that endeavours to change the focus over time from “supporting the people” to promoting peace, security and stability in the region and on the continent”. The aim is to foster a stable and secure environment in the region. ----- ###### FORCE SUPPORT STRATEGIES SUPPORT STRATEGIES The essence of the support strategy, which directs the provision of support to the DOD in general and the SANDF in particular, during both peace and confl ict times, is to diff erentiate between unique support required by operational elements and the common support requirements of all Services and Divisions. Support is seen as an integrated series of processes that enables the DOD to execute its constitutional mandate. The uniqueness is a consequence of the unique operational environments and dictates that specialised support concepts are to be developed, which entails that the “front” of the support system supports uniqueness, whilst the “rear” utilises a common technology base. The renewal of the DOD resources, both matériel and human, is detailed in the following Force Support strategies: - Human Resource Strategy. - Joint Logistic Strategy. - Information Strategy. - Strategic Capital Acquisition Strategy. - Service Delivery Improvement Plan ###### ORGANISATIONAL PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT ###### DOD BALANCED SCORECARD The defence objectives have been translated into the DOD Balanced Scorecard (BSC) Strategy Map. Presented below are perspectives as gleaned from the DOD BSC Strategy Map that are the key levers for measuring the DOD’s internal, external and collective eff ectiveness: - Output deliverables – Deliver what our stakeholders expect from us. - Internal – Excel in our internal processes in order to satisfy our stakeholders. - Resources – Provide and manage our resources in order to support our processes and outputs. - Building for the future – Learn, grow and innovate in order to achieve long-term goals. The above perspectives provide the framework for the annual performance agreement of the Accounting Offi cer and the Chief of the SANDF with the Minister. Hence, when implemented, the BSC will form the basis of the performance management system at organisational and individual level within the DOD. The DOD is currently in the process of implementing the BSC as a performance management framework to translate strategy into measurable objectives. The starting point for this process was to develop a strategy map for the Department – a visual map of the overall strategic outcomes and objectives of the department. The objectives are grouped into four perspectives (strategic performance focus areas). Each of these contains objectives commensurate with the focus of the perspective. Performance related cause and eff ect relationships are indicated with arrows on this map. This strategy map is included as Figure 3 below. The full BSC consists of the perspectives, objectives, measures and targets. It consolidates all objectives and measures in the department into one balanced view of its performance. ----- The roll-out of the BSC as a performance management tool was advanced during the past year. At the close of the fi nancial year, the scorecards for the various Services and Divisions had been completed. These scorecards have played a pivotal role in the strategic planning process. The implementation of the BSC will bear positive results for the Department in respect of planning and reporting on performance. Figure 3: The DOD Balanced Scorecard ----- ###### CHAPTER 2 MEDIUM-TERM STRATEGIC FOCUS ###### INTRODUCTION This chapter provides an overview of the DOD‘s policy and legislative developments that will impact on the spending patterns, the outputs with accompanying key performance indicators, the budget allocation and associated corporate risks, as well as the specifi c focus on service delivery improvement. The DOD’s medium-term strategic focus is shaped by the National Strategic Direction, which consists of the Regulatory Framework of Government; ‘Towards a 10-Year Review’; Government Scenarios; the annual State of the Nation Address by the President; the annual Budget Speech; the Government Makgotla decisions, issued bi-annually in January and July; the Medium-Term Strategic Framework (MTSF), a mechanism for generating limited, focused, medium-term strategic priorities shared by all spheres of Government; and the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF), which is directed by the MTSF, national interests and national values. This chapter provides an overview of Government’s medium-term strategic focus, the DOD’s medium term strategic focus and the alignment thereof with Government priorities, the Minister’s priorities, as well as policy and legislative developments that will impact on the spending patterns. Further, the budget allocation as gleaned from the Estimate of National Expenditure, tabled by the Minister of Finance, is presented herein. Expenditure trends and analysis of the budget allocation are alluded to. Finally, the risk management approach and assessment, as well as the specifi c focus on the service delivery improvement programme, are provided. ###### OVERVIEW OF THE DOD STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS The process of strategic planning in the DOD is initiated annually with the environmental analysis (EA). The Planning and Budgeting Seminar then follow up the EA in September. During this Seminar, the Minister presents the guidelines that inform the strategic planning process for the next fi nancial year. At the same work session the Accounting Offi cer translates the Minister’s guidelines to Departmental Guidelines. The Accounting Offi cer presents more detailed guidelines that are informed by the Outcome Delivery Agreements. Guidelines are issued that pertain to the programmes as articulated in the ENE as well as the crossfunctional support plans. Services/Divisions during October/November develop their strategic plans in line with the guidelines issued and these get submitted to the SANDF and the Secretariat in April of each year. The plans are technically evaluated in May in preparation for the Departmental Programme and Budget Evaluation Committee (DPBEC) in June, where the individual Services make presentations and the Accounting Offi cer makes evaluations. These revised plans are submitted in November and these inform the corporate Strategic Plan, which is developed consultatively and gets approved by the Secretariat Council (SC), Military Command Council (MCC) and Plenary Defence Staff Council (PDSC). The approved document is submitted to the Auditor General (AG) and National Treasury (NT) for quality assurance and inputs regarding compliance with regulatory framework. ----- The Accounting Offi cer presents the approved document to the Minister. The publication process then commences to see the document tabled in parliament in March of every year. The strategic planning process and the implementation thereof is supported by the MCC, SC, Council on Defence (COD), Plenary Defence Staff Council (PDSC), Defence Planning Board (DPB) and the DPBEC to ensure alignment with the DOD priorities as well as Government prescripts. The execution of the DOD Strategic Plan is monitored through Quarterly Reports (fi rst three quarters), the Annual Report, as well as at DPBEC meetings. The necessary adjustments to the process will be eff ected to continually align with the emerging Government strategic planning trajectory. ###### GOVERNMENT’S MEDIUM TERM STRATEGIC FOCUS The MTSF 2009-2014 builds on successes of the 15 years of democracy. It is a statement of intent in identifying the developmental challenges facing South Africa and outlines the medium term strategy for improving in the conditions of life of South Africans, as well as for our enhanced contribution to the cause of building a better South Africa. Government adopted the MTSF for the mandate period 2009-2014 where 10 strategic priorities serve as a basis for determining Government’s implementation plans for the period 2009 to 2014. The table below places the election mandate, MTSF key strategic objectives and outcomes alongside each other. The outcomes refl ect the desired impact that Government seeks to achieve. Table 1: Details of Government’s Electoral Mandate, Medium Term Strategic Framework and Outcomes |Electoral Mandate|MTSF|Outcomes| |---|---|---| |Creation of Decent Work and sustainable livelihoods|Speeding up growth and transforming the economy to create decent work and sustainable livelihoods.|Decent employment through economic growth.| |Education|Strengthen the skills and human resource base.|| ||Quality basic education.|| |||| |Skilled and capable workforce to support an inclusive growth path.||| |Health|Improve the health prof ile of all South Africans.|A long and healthy life for all South Africans.| |Rural development, food, security and land reform|Comprehensive rural land development strategy linked to land and agrarian reform and food security.|Vibrant, equitable, sustainable rural communities contributing towards food security for all.| |The f ight against crime and corruption|Intensify the f gi ht against crime and corruption.|All people in SA are and feel safe.| |||| ----- |Electoral Mandate|MTSF|Outcomes| |---|---|---| ||Massive programme to build economic and social infrastructure.|An ef cfiient, competitive and responsive economic infra- structure network.| ||Build cohesive, caring and sustainable communities.|Responsive, accountable, ef efctive and ef ficient local government system| |||Sustainable human settlements and improved quality of sustainable human settlements and improved quality of household life.| ||Pursuing African advancement and enhanced international co- operation.|Create a better SA, a better Africa and a better world.| ||Sustainable Resources Management and use.|Protect and enhance our environmental assets and natural resources.| ||Building a developmental state, including improvement of Public Service and strengthening democratic institutions.|An ef cfiient, ef efctive and development-oriented Public Ser-vice and an empowered, fair and inclusive citizenship.| ###### DOD’S MEDIUM-TERM STRATEGIC FOCUS As directed by Government’s imperatives, during the next decade, the DOD will focus on a mandatedriven, force design and structure. The DOD intends undertaking a policy and strategy review that will inform the force design and structure to - Meet the ordered commitments stipulated in the Constitution of defending and protecting the RSA and its people; and - Support Government’s diplomatic initiatives in the region and on the continent. These will be met in accordance with the principles of international law, the MTSF and the MTEF of Government. Whilst emphasising its Constitutional obligation, the DOD also embraces Government’s initiatives and priorities to combat poverty and underdevelopment through various socio-economic development programmes as a necessary condition for lasting peace and stability nationally, sub-regionally and continentally. Such alignment shall entail that: - The defence capabilities of the DOD are enhanced and maintained - Peace, security and confi dence-building in the SADC sub-region and the entire continent are promoted through constructive dialogue aimed at nurturing sound defence diplomatic relations and projecting South Africa’s foreign policy principles and objectives; - The Government’s policy to resolve confl icts peacefully through recognised international instruments and mechanisms will be supported by deploying the SANDF in international peace missions; and ----- - The Government’s diplomatic engagements are supported through participation in multilateral institutions such as the SADC, AU and UN. ###### DEFENCE ALIGNMENT WITH GOVERNMENT PRIORITIES The business of defence is aligned with the priorities of Government as determined in the MTSF and the priorities determined annually in the Cabinet Lekgotla. In the January 2010 Cabinet Lekgotla, a concept document was approved, entitled “Measurable Performance and Accountable Delivery” which seeks to “develop the MTSF into outcomes with measurable outputs and optimal activities”. The outcomes, outputs and measurable activities will focus the business of Government on those key matters which will “achieve more with less”. Defence is a member of the Justice, Crime Prevention and Security (JCPS) Cluster and the International Co-operation, Trade and security (ICTS) Cluster. Defence became the Chair of the ICTS cluster in October 2009. It is within these clusters that Defence contributes to the strategic intent of Government and ensures that its readiness and resources are aligned with the ordered commitments of Government. ###### JUSTICE, CRIME PREVENTION AND SECURITY (JCPS) CLUSTER The JCPS cluster will focus on Outcomes 3 entitled “All People in South Africa Are and Feel Safe”. Within this outcome 3, Defence will focus on the output related to border management. In November 2009, Cabinet approved the employment of the SANDF for the full spectrum of border safeguarding services inside South Africa and in international waters. By so doing, Cabinet confi rmed the long term responsibility for border control residing with the SANDF. In terms of the Cabinet decision, the DOD supports other State departments in respect of border safeguarding. Border safeguarding operations will not be limited to the borderline only, but will include rear area operations. Border safeguarding must be viewed and managed as a priority function of the SANDF in relation to its mandate to protect and defend the Republic, its sovereignty, territorial integrity and national interests and people, in accordance with the Constitution and the principles of international law regulating the use of force. Consequently, the SANDF must structure, budget for and develop capabilities to execute the full spectrum of border safeguarding. The SANDF military strategy and Force employment planning must be adjusted to meet this priority. ###### INTERNATIONAL CO-OPERATION, TRADE AND SECURITY (ICTS) CLUSTER The ICTS cluster will focus on Outcome 11, “Create a Better South Africa and Contribute to a Safer Africa and a Better World”. In this Outcome 11, Defence will focus on the outputs related to the Advancement of Regional and Global Peace, Security and Sustainability. The measurable activities of this output will relate to both the promotion of regional security and South African representation in multilateral organisations/peace and security forums. ----- This will mean that the effi cacy of SANDF forces deployed in peace missions and general military assistance missions will be measured in terms of having the correct mandate to deploy, are missionready and mission-trained, and are properly supported and protected by the correct legal instruments and legal framework. This further means that Defence must take active steps to ensure that regional, continental and international peace and security structures are capacitated and strengthened by the appropriate deployments of South Africans into these structures, which may include the SADC Planning Elements, SADC Standby Force, SADC Peace Mission Training Centre, African Union Peace and Security Structures, Military Staff Committee and United Nations Department of Peacekeeping. ###### MINISTER OF DEFENCE’S PRIORITIES FOR FY 2010/11 The Minister of Defence has determined that execution of the defence mandate should help realise the following strategic priorities during FY 2010/11 and beyond. Monitoring of performance against these identifi ed strategic objectives will be a litmus test of the extent to which the defence function has been able to do things diff erently and achieve more with less. The Ministerial Priorities for FY 2010/11 are as follows: - The establishment of a functional Department of Military Veterans The Department should be fully resourced to take responsibility for the overall management and administration of Military Veterans aff airs, including but not limited to, developing policy, legislation, programmes, benefi ts and services that facilitate the transition from active service to civilian life. - Rejuvenation and Upgrading of the Landward Programme This shall be our main focus in the incoming period and additional funds are to be secured. This will take place sequentially and in phases. The fi rst phase will be characterised by the alignment of the Army Vision with the DOD’s MTEF priorities. - Infrastructure - The DOD will develop a model to manage its own facilities. - The DOD will compile a master plan to deal with infrastructure. This plan must include priorities, costs and the development of a phased approach. - Department of Defence Works Regiment - The DOD is to create a “works brigade” to ensure an in-house capacity to attend to all its facilities. - The DOD will utilise professional technical resources within Defence to support infrastructure development at local Government level. - Alignment of Defence Secretariat with its Constitutional and Legislative Mandate A review of the Defence Secretariat to align with the mandate of the defence organisation and support the requirements for the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans. - The Establishment of the National Defence Force Service Commission and Supporting Structures To improve the level of job satisfaction and morale, a permanent National Defence Force Commission will be established, whose mandate will be to investigate, provide expert advice and make recommendations regarding remuneration and the conditions of service of members of the SANDF and, secondly, to make recommendations to the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans on the establishment of a permanent NDFSC (Military Service Commission). ----- - Transformation of ARMSCOR In order to increase the DOD’s contribution to South Africa’s Research and Development Index, it is imperative that ARMSCOR human capital base be continually reviewed to ensure the emergence of a rejuvenated, dependable technical human capital base. - Incremental Refocusing of Denel to Support the Identifi ed Defence Strategic Capabilities Notwithstanding the economic imperatives that drive Denel’s business strategy, a concerted eff ort will be made to optimally utilise Denel to provide for the strategic competencies of defence. - Promote a Culture of Good Governance Prescripts Realisation of a Qualifi cation–Free Audit: Institutionalisation of prudent internal controls will be employed to promote evidence-based performance reporting at all levels. A multi-pronged strategy must be developed and fully implemented that addresses root causes of the Auditor General’s qualifi cations and will be employed to continually align the DOD with emerging domestic and international auditing standards. Information Technology (IT): To improve systemic compatibility and interoperability, the DOD, in collaboration with the National Treasury, is involved in preparing the rollout of the Integrated Financial Management System (IFMS). It is expected that the utilisation of IT as a strategic resource will greatly facilitate administrative processes, as well as improve the level of accountability. - Defence Strategy that responds to the DOD’s Current and Emerging Needs A strategy must be developed to provide a cogent argument on the levels of defence capabilities required to respond to domestic and global trends, including socio-economic and environmental issues, as well as requirements posed by the foreign and security policy of this Government, to meet the three strategic defence objectives of defending the Republic, promoting regional and continental security, and supporting the people and continually improving defence capabilities. - Revitalisation of the Reserves The Reserves must be transformed and revitalised so that they can fulfi l their primary role of providing the majority of the conventional landward capability of the SANDF, whilst at the same time supplementing the peace support missions conducted by the Regulars. The Reserve Strategy must be fi nalised and fully implemented. - Optimal Utilisation the Collateral Value of Defence Capabilities in Responding to the Country’s SocioEconomic Needs In support of the Government’s drive to achieve more with less, more partnerships will be pursued within other organs of state to assist in the delivery of justifi able socio- economic needs at municipal and local levels. - Provide a lead to the development and implementation of the Community Service Programme (CSP) In an eff ort to curb migration to urban areas, escalating levels of service delivery protest actions, high level of unemployment that is prevalent amongst women, youth, military veterans and people in the rural areas, a community services programme will be initiated that will re-skill the citizens, thus providing another opportunity for economic participation though maintenance of existing infrastructure and heritage sites. As such artisan and cultural promotion programmes will be promoted within the rural training and this will form the core of the National Community Service Concept that the Defence Force will be infused in all communities that are intricately connected to Defence institutions. ----- ###### DOD ALIGNMENT TO MTSF PRIORITIES The table below indicates how the DOD has aligned certain of its activities in accordance with the MTSF document issued by the Presidency. This is a framework that guides Government’s programme in the electoral mandate for the period 2009 – 2014.

Expenditure trends over the MTEF period are impacted on by the cancellation of the strategic airlift capability, higher than planned for salary adjustments for Government employees and additional allocations for the South African Defence Force’s new remuneration system, the military skills development system, landward defence modernisation and the establishment of an offi ce for the management of military veterans aff airs. With the cancellation of the A400M aircraft contract Landward Defence becomes the dominant programme within the Defence vote over the MTEF period, consuming 30.5 per cent of the department’s total budget. Air Defence takes up 23.7 percent, General Support and Administration take up 12.8 and 10.6 per cent respectively of the total budget. The Administration programme increases with 12.7 per cent, 11.4 per cent and 10.4 per cent over the medium term due to the inclusion of the defence Offi ce Accommodation portfolio of R1.8 billion in 2010/11 in this programme. General Support is equally large due to the facilities maintenance and repair programme, the capital works programme and the upgrade of the Air Force Base Waterkloof runway being included in this programme. The higher than average increases in the Landward Defence, Maritime Defence and Military Health Support programmes during the MTEF period are due to the additional allocations received for landward defence renewal, provision for the replacement of operational ambulances and initiating programmes to acquire a hydro graphic vessel and off -shore patrol vessels. Compensation of employees, amounting to R13.5 billion or 43.8 per cent of the total budget in 2010/11 remains the largest expenditure item in the budget. Goods and services and transfer payments amount to 31.5 per cent and 22.2 per cent respectively in 2010/11. ###### INFRASTRUCTURE SPENDING In FY 2008/09 the Department continued to fund 36 capital works building projects. Expenditure was directed towards upgrading military health facilities, installing fi re detection and protection systems, improved accessibility to buildings for disabled members, upgrading kitchens, building an urban training facility and improving security at diff erent buildings. In consultation with the National Department of Public Works, Defence continues with the repair and maintenance programme at the military hospitals in Pretoria and Cape Town, the Air Force Base Waterkloof, 4 SA Infantry Battalion and 35 Engineer Support Regiment. Over the medium term, the programme is extended to eventually include the repair and maintenance of 33 bases and 52 capital works projects. ###### DEPARTMENTAL RECEIPTS Departmental receipts are mainly from the sale of redundant or obsolete equipment and defence matériel, the rental of accommodation to personnel and board and lodging. The unpredictable nature of reimbursements for peace support operations prevents accurate projections in departmental receipts, specifi cally fi nancial transactions in assets and liabilities. The compliance regime for the disposal of prime mission equipment also impacts on the accuracy of revenue projections. Despite the aforementioned, improvements in revenue management should contribute towards an increase from R676.7 million to R756.9 million, at an average annual rate of 3.8 per cent between 2009/10 and 2012/13. ----- ###### ANALYSIS OF THE 2010/11 DEFENCE BUDGET ALLOCATION Figure 4: Comparative Budget Allocation Changes Between Financial Years 2009/10 and 2010/11 (All amounts in R’000) ###### RISK MANAGEMENT Section 38(1) of the Public Finance Management Act, (Act 1 of 1999), as amended, and section 3.2 of the Treasury Regulations require the DOD to put in place a risk management system. To fulfi l this requirement, the DOD’s Enterprise-Wide Risk Management (ERM) eff orts for the MTEF period will be directed towards entrenching the risk management culture by means of the following: a. Roll-out (communication) of the DOD ERM Framework, Policy and Strategy to DOD personnel and key stakeholders. b. Implementing a risk-based approach through the integration of ERM with internal processes such as strategic planning, internal audit, performance monitoring, control and compliance. This will ensure that ERM is integrated with all Departmental management processes. c. Establishing the DOD ERM Committee and relevant risk management support committees in the respective Services/Divisions. d. Developing a consolidated DOD Risk Register and annual Risk Assessment Report. The approach outlined above will contribute towards improving management and other personnel’s understanding of the context and implications of risks to their day-to day activities. A generic overview of the enterprise risks that could impact on the achievement of the DOD’s goals is presented below: ----- Table 5: Enterprise Risk and Mitigation Strategy |Enterprise Risk|Mitigation Strategy/Action| |---|---| |The continued loss of scarce skills due to the exit of large numbers of highly skilled personnel.|• An Interim Service Commission has been established to consider remuneration and the conditions of service of members of the South African National Defence Force (SANDF), a unique service dispensation for the SANDF outside the ambit of the Public Service.| ||• Implementation of the DOD retention strategy.| ||• Air Force partnering with local aviation industry.| |Inadequate funding for human resource expenditure could result in a further burden on DOD’s budget vote/allocation.|• Department will engage National Treasury for additional funding.| |The declining Rand value of the DOD budget could negatively impact on the Department’s operating budget and capital acquisitions budget.|• Department will engage National Treasury for additional funding required to address def ciiencies in the capital acquisition budget.| |Inadequate facility infrastructure maintenance and renovation capacity resulting in unacceptable facility repair and renovation backlog that detrimentally impacts on force preparation and employment.|• Immediately establish bilateral forum between DPW and DOD leading towards migrating some custodian functions to the DOD, and development of an ef efctive memorandum of understanding.| ||• Finalise the development of the Works Capability to assume some of the migrated functions from DPW to address capacity inadequacies.| |Incompatible systems could result in inef efctive and inef ficient performance.|• Analysis of all the systems in the Department with the intention of integration.| ||• Approaching National Treasury for permission to procure DOD integrated system.| |Lack of single logistics management information system due to historic fragmentation of information systems and a perceived National Treasury (NT) moratorium on information system enhancements.

Further the translation of these outputs in terms of Programmes is presented herein. ###### OUTLOOK OF DOD PROGRAMMES The DOD spends a great deal of time preparing for various contingencies and also conducts operations inside and outside the borders of South Africa. The performance of the DOD against plan will be measured quarterly and annually, using performance indicators developed by the Services and Divisions. The Inspector-General of the DOD conducts regular audits to verify the results achieved. The outputs of the DOD, as gleaned from its mandate as well as the translation thereof into the programmes, are outlined in this chapter. Finally, the chapter provides an overview of each programme, details of which (in terms of performance information) are provided in the tables in Appendix A. In this chapter, the DOD presents the programmes as an organising framework and the budget allocation for capital acquisition, managed through Acquisition Services within the Administration Programme, notwithstanding the allocation that is refl ected in the various programmes. Each programme, therefore, is not representative of a Service or Division, but is a comprehensive outlook of what the programme requires. This is also the case for Property Management, a sub programme of the Administration Programme, wherein funding resides for projects executed through the General Support Programme. ###### DEFENCE OUTPUTS The outputs provided by the DOD to Government are the following: - Defence commitments, which include - Operations that are ongoing in nature during the year and for which plans and fi nancial provision can be made in advance; - Operations that must be executed during the year and, if unforeseeable, for which no provision has been made; and - Joint, interdepartmental and multinational exercises required during the year to prepare forces for operations. - Landward defence capabilities. - Air defence capabilities. - Maritime defence capabilities. - Military health (support) capabilities. - Defence diplomacy, which includes - The deployment of Defence Attachés; - The servicing of defence-related Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs); and - Participation in the defence and security structures of the UN, the AU and SADC. - The provision of defence-related policy and ministerial advice. - Cryptographic security services for Government departments. ----- - The National Codifi cation Bureau. - The provision of appropriate frameworks for sound policy direction and advice, and the systemic monitoring and evaluation thereof. - The provision of defence capabilities that respond to the needs of South Africa within the evolving policy and national priority trajectory that characterise a developmental state. ###### TRANSLATION OF DOD OUTPUTS IN TERMS OF PROGRAMMES For fi nancial allocation and reporting purposes, the outputs of the DOD are presented in terms of programmes that are all-encompassing. The programmes represent the contribution of various Services and Divisions within the DOD. The allocation provided for each programme thus represents the collective contribution as indicated and is not representative of each Service’s allocation in real terms. The outputs of individual Divisions and Services are described in the Appendix A to the Strategic Plan. Eight programmes that support the outputs of the DOD are as follows: |Table 6: Programme Purpose|Col2| |---|---| |Programme|Purpose| |Administration|Conduct the policy development, management and administration of the Department.| |Force Employment|Successfully conduct all operations, as well as joint interdepartmental and multinational military exercises.| |Landward Defence|Provide prepared and supported landward defence capabilities for the defence and protection of South Africa.| |Air Defence|Provide prepared and supported air defence capabilities for the defence and protection of South Africa.| |Maritime Defence|Provide prepared and supported maritime defence capabilities for the defence and protection of South Africa.| |Military Health Support|Provide prepared and supported military health capabilities and services for the defence and protection of South Africa.| |Defence Intelligence|Provide a Defence intelligence and counter-intelligence capability.| |General Support|Provide general support capabilities and services to the Department.| ###### LINKING THE STRATEGIC PLAN WITH THE ESTIMATE OF NATIONAL EXPENDITURE The analysis is introduced through the presentation of selected indicators, which the DOD has chosen to track over time in terms of outputs and outcomes as well as impact assessment. In addition, strategic objectives to provide an integrated approach to organisational and individual performance, as gleaned from the implementation of the Balanced Scorecard, are presented. Table 7 contains the selected performance and operation indicators that defi ne the mandate of the DOD. The detailed performance indicators of the Department are refl ected in the plans of the Services and Divisions (Level 2) and their substructures (Levels 3 and 4). ----- ###### SELECTED PERFORMANCE AND OPERATIONS INDICATORS Table 7: Selected Performance and Operations Indicators for the FY2010/11 to FY2012/13 Programme Indicator Past Cur- Projections Name (s) rent 2006/ 2007/ 2008/ 2009/ 2010/ 2011/ 2012/ 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 Landward Total number of 13 050 12 583 19 763 24 400 31 500 35 500 39 500 Defence active Reserves Force Number of external 14 11 9 12 12 12 12 Employment operations each year Force Average number of 4 810 2 698 2 931 3 024 2 102 2 102 2 102 employment personnel deployed daily in external operations Force Number of Internal 3 3 6 5 5 4 4 Employment operations in support of other Government departments per year Force Number of person - 515 231 156 515 208 208 Employment days used during 516 608 381 516 609 609 internal operations Force Number of joint, in- 16 10 10 9 9 7 8 Employment ter-departmental and multinational military exercises conducted per year Landward Number of Military 4 710 4 677 6 736 8 833 11 140 11 140 11 140 Defence Skills Development members in the system per year Air Defence Number of fl ying 9 788 12 271 11 099 9 500 9 500 9 500 9 500 hours in support of operations per year Maritime Number of sea hours 9 949 9 648 8 236 11 000 10 000 9 000 9 000 Defence on patrol in South African maritime zones per year Military Health Number of health - - - 2 400 2 400 2 400 2 400 Support care activities per 000 000 000 000 year 4 A non-recurring increase due to support to 2010 FIFA World Cup. 5 The increase from 2009/10 to 2011/12 will depend on the scale of the South African National Defence Force’s involvement in Borderline Control. 6 A combined Air Transport exercise involving the South African and Namibian Air Forces and the Lesotho Air Wing is an Air Force unique exercise and is included from 2010/11. 7 The performance indicator was changed to provide an overview of the South African Military Health Service performance in terms of number of health care activities which include health assessments and medical support services in the 88 geographic health care facilities; 3 military hospitals and the military health institutes as well as to national and international dignitaries and during internal and external operations. |Programme Name (s)|Indicator|Past|Col4|Col5|Cur- rent|Projections|Col8|Col9| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| |||2006/ 07|2007/ 08|2008/ 09|2009/ 10|2010/ 11|2011/ 12|2012/ 13| |Landward Defence|Total number of active Reserves|13 050|12 583|19 763|24 400|31 500|35 500|39 500| |Force Employment|Number of external operations each year|14|11|9|12|12|12|12| |Force employment|Average number of personnel deployed daily in external operations|4 810|2 698|2 931|3 024|2 102|2 102|2 102| |Force Employment|Number of Internal operations in support of other Government departments per year|3|3|6|5|5|4|4| |Force Employment|Number of person days used during internal operations|-|515 516|231 608|156 381|515 516|208 609|208 609| |Force Employment|Number of joint, in- ter-departmental and multinational military exercises conducted per year|16|10|10|9|9|7|8| |Landward Defence|Number of Military Skills Development members in the sys- tem per year|4 710|4 677|6 736|8 833|11 140|11 140|11 140| |Air Defence|Number of f yling hours in support of operations per year|9 788|12 271|11 099|9 500|9 500|9 500|9 500| |Maritime Defence|Number of sea hours on patrol in South Af- rican maritime zones per year|9 949|9 648|8 236|11 000|10 000|9 000|9 000| |Military Health Support|Number of health care activities per year|-|-|-|2 400 000|2 400 000|2 400 000|2 400 000| ----- ###### DETAILED OVERVIEW OF THE DOD’S PROGRAMMES For fi nancial reporting, the DOD’s mandate is packaged into eight programmes.

In essence, the requirement for quality decision-making and the precise execution of activities as intended by the Defence Strategy demands a quality information resource. In turn, quality information requires quality Information Systems and Information and Communication Technologies in order to enable the DOD to achieve its objectives. As a result of this, the DOD’s Information Strategy was reviewed and approved for promulgation during the fi rst quarter of 2010. The reviewed Information Strategy not only promotes the management of the Department’s information as a strategic resource, but it also sets out to elevate the Department’s level of maturity from a systems-oriented organisation to an information-oriented organisation. However, key to achieving the outcome of Information Excellence associated with an information-oriented organisation is the implementation of the Defence Enterprise Information System (DEIS) Master Plan, which will improve the Department’s maturity level from a technology-oriented organisation to a systems oriented organisation. ###### STRATEGIC GOALS The Information Strategy presents a set of strategic goals, objectives, and implementation guidelines for managing and utilising information as a strategic resource through its lifecycle immaterial of the format in which the information is kept (electronic or hard copy) or of the system in which the information is used by (manual or automated). The following high level strategic goals were identifi ed as key to the implementation and execution of the Information Strategy: - Creating a common understanding of what the departmental information requirement entails, the provisioning of which will enable the successful execution of the organisational processes and objectives. - Establishing an organisation driven by an information culture and the sharing thereof, whilst ensuring eff ective and effi cient control over the information resource. The application of the following high-level concepts will enable the achievement of the strategic objectives: - Network Centric Defence. This concept is the DOD’s answer to the rapid changes in the threat landscape and entails the application of information and communication systems, people, processes, etc in a manner that ensures the timely and secure distribution of information to where and when it is required, for purposes of supporting defence business (defence administration) and providing military commanders with an informational advantage over adversaries during the full range of operations (network centric warfare). ----- - Information as a Strategic Resource. The DOD Information Strategy sets forth a number of principles and characteristics that will improve and add value to the information resource. As a result, an approach is taken that the departmental information requirement must be known and properly analysed so as to have a clear understanding not only of the kind of information required under whatever situation and for what purpose, but also from where the information is sourced or originates. - Information Management and Administration Practices. This relates to the departmental capability to practise and live out the principles, processes, and procedures inherent to the holistic management of information within the ambit of legal requirements and best practices. - Human Cognitive Ability. This concept relates to the level of cognitive maturity that is required of Defence personnel to be able to make eff ective use of the information resource. This includes being able to eff ectively communicate one’s understanding of the information to one’s peers in a collaborative environment, thereby not only eff ectively sharing knowledge but also adding to a more comprehensive situational awareness amongst team members and peers. - Information Distribution. To enable the secure, eff ective and effi cient distribution of information to where and when it is required, the DOD implements a fully scalable, robust and interoperable Information and Communication Infrastructure realised by the implementation of the DEIS Master Plan. ###### IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DEIS MASTER PLAN The DEIS Master Plan serves as the primary mechanism through which the DOD Information Strategy is realised. Furthermore, the DEIS Master Plan facilitates the strategic alignment between the information requirements of the DOD, on the one hand, and the enabling of information solutions for DOD requirements, on the other hand. The DEIS Master Plan therefore directs and co-ordinates all ICS&S investments being made across the entire DOD, in order to ensure that the DOD gains the best value from money spent on ICS&S in accordance with DOD Strategies, Plans and Priorities. For this reason, the scope of the DEIS Master Plan covers all levels of management and command (across the strategic, operational and tactical levels). It includes all defence functions, from the staff support and administrative functions in the rear, through the various Headquarters along the military chain of command and right down to the information and communication systems that extend into the tactical battlefi eld – and which facilitate the network enabling of SANDF military capabilities. As a result, the DEIS Master Plan focuses on the achievement of the requisite levels of technical and nontechnical interoperability. For this purpose, CMIS Division places a high premium on the establishment and utilisation of the SANDF Interoperability Development Environment (IDE). The IDE will increasingly provide the mechanisms and services needed to ensure the achievement of such levels of ICS&S enabling and interoperability that are needed to signifi cantly increase the eff ectiveness of the DOD both in military operations, as well as in the administrative environment. ###### CONCLUSION The DOD information strategy is fully aligned with the top-level balanced scorecard strategic maps of the department, thus creating the required synergy with departmental strategic objectives. As a result of this, the execution of the information strategy and the realisation of information excellence, as expressed in the information vision, are dependent on the achievement of the above-mentioned strategic goals and their associated objectives. ----- ###### DEIS MASTER PLAN Table 31: DEIS Master Plan |Ser|Renewal Area|FY 2010/2011 R’000|FY 2011/2012 R’000|FY 2012/2013 R’000| |---|---|---|---|---| |1|Portfolio 1: Defence Enterprise Architecture.

The intent of the DOD Overarching Human Resource Strategy is to achieve, maintain, manage and account for a defence human resource complement that optimally executes the Department’s mandate, mission and strategic objectives in support of the DOD’s corporate vision and mission. During the current planning cycle, the DOD must achieve its strategic vision for human resources, being “mission-ready human resources”, and execute the mission of the strategy, which is “ensuring well managed mission-ready human resources through the application of sound human resource management practices”. The strategy is structured around three themes, namely “Human Resources of the Appropriate Quality, Quantity, Composition and Cost”, which relates to defence-specifi c and military-specifi c human resource imperatives and initiatives; “Accountable HR Management and Administration”, which relates to the generic human resource management functions and other specifi c human resource management focus areas; and “Commitments met in Pursuance of Government Human Resource Policy and Strategy” which relates to defence-related social responsibility functions. Supporting the Defence and Military Strategies, the DOD Overarching Human Resource Strategy provides strategic direction to the “provide human resource process” over the medium to long term. It emphasises the fundamental strategic goals and objectives that must be achieved to improve the effi cacy of the way in which the DOD manages its members and employees within the ambit of the above-mentioned three themes. The strategy also provides capstone guidance for human resource management in the DOD through directing the development of derived human resource sub strategies, functional policies and human resource support plans. It furthermore enhances internal human resource processes with the main aim to build for the future. The implementation of the DOD Overarching Human Resource Strategy is supported by a multi-year Departmental Human Resource Strategy Implementation Plan and an annual Departmental Corporate ----- Human Resource Support Plan will give impetus to the DOD’s strategic direction process from a human resource viewpoint. Such plans contain the detail in respect of implementation guidelines, targets (ways and means), responsibilities, timelines and performance success indicators. The DOD Overarching Human Resource Strategy is an important milestone in continuing the journey during the Second Decade of Freedom towards improved strategic direction of the DOD’s human capital. ###### JOINT LOGISTICS STRATEGY The purpose of the logistics strategy of the DOD is to ensure optimal integrated logistic support to the DOD for military operations and other assigned tasks. Logistic support is provided on a joint and multinational basis with a single point of functional authority (Chief of Logistics), recognising the uniqueness of systems operating on land, in the air and at sea, as well as those by military health services. This logistic support system supports force provision, preparation and employment. Logistic strategy, as for military strategy, comprises ends (the desired outcome), ways (the manner in which it is executed) and means (that with which it is carried out). Logistic activities at strategic, operational and tactical level make it possible for the forces being supported to accomplish their mission. At the national or strategic level, the capacity of the industrial base, funding, availability of raw materials and other resources, including transportation and competing needs of the civilian population, must be considered. At the operational and tactical level, the availability of supplies, transport, maintenance services and the competing demands of other forces are the limiting factors. The following are the desired outcomes of the logistics strategy: - Logistics enables the Defence Mandate. - Logistic risks are reduced to as low as reasonably practicable. - Logistics contributes to the Department’s positive image. - Logistics complies with the regulatory framework, Government priorities, internal governance and stakeholder requirements. Logistics provides the following outputs: - Appropriate, ready and sustained matériel. - Appropriate, ready and sustained facilities. - Appropriate, ready and sustained movement and logistic services. Logistic support within the DOD is determined by the Secretary for Defence and the Chief of the SANDF as follows: - The Secretariat will provide Governance, Risk and Compliance management. - Chief of Logistics and staff will provide centralised strategic logistic direction and functional authority as Staff Offi cer of Chief of the SANDF, including logistic strategy, policy and doctrine, integrated planning (vertical and horizontal alignment of objective and resource allocation), and consolidated reporting, internal control and risk management. ----- - Those logistics functions most eff ectively, effi ciently and economically executed in a joint/centralised manner will be performed by either DOD Logistic Support Formation or Joint Ops Div. - Those logistics functions most eff ectively, effi ciently and economically executed in a de-centralised manner will be performed by the Services and other Divisions. The logistics will, over the next decade, focus on acquiring the optimal level of logistic capabilities to ensure an eff ective, effi cient, and economic, transparent, mission-ready and integrated DOD/SANDF logistic support system. The logistics will, over the medium term, through the Logistic Intervention and Realignment Programme (LIRP), focus on transforming DOD/SANDF logistics processes, systems and structures so as to establish the required environmental conditions to achieve improved logistic operational readiness. The logistics will, in the short term, focus on supporting defence operational and other commitments ordered by Government, within current constraints, and on the elimination of logistic related audit qualifi cations. The DOD’s challenge in providing logistic support remains the continuous improvement of the skills and capacity of logisticians, and the quality of equipment, systems and facilities. To this end, special focus will be placed on ensuring the availability of logistics skills through attracting, recruiting, educating, training, developing, retaining, motivating, correctly deploying and eventually redeploying suffi cient competent logistics members. An equal challenge is the establishment of a single logistics process throughout the DOD/SANDF. The process shall be - Comprehensive, providing for the unique requirements and activities of the diff erent environments, Services and Divisions; - Rigorous, to ensure eff ectiveness, effi ciency and economy, while maintaining integrity; - Tailorable, to enhance fl exibility, appropriateness and responsiveness; and - Based on best logistic practice and the operationalisation of the “Core Growth – One Force” concept. The process will integrate the logistics perspectives of Life Cycle and Asset Management, from realisation of need to commissioning, operation, support and eventual disposal of systems; and Supply Chain Management, from provisioning and sourcing to front-line delivery of items, including return if required; and will follow a systems, quality and process approach. Currently, the DOD uses several parallel logistic information systems, including manual methods and divergent logistic processes. This complicates the provision of integrated management information to DOD decision-makers. The establishment of a single logistics process will enable migration to a single logistics information system, in co-operation with the National Treasury’s Integrated Financial Management System (IFMS) initiative. Other technological means to achieve eff ectiveness, effi ciency, economy and integrity in the logistics process, including but not limited to automated inventory and asset tracking, shall be investigated and implemented. The defence-related industry, defence institutes and the private sector are to be positioned to support the DOD in both Life Cycle and Supply Chain Management. ----- Common-use systems will be managed by a single point of responsibility, so as to achieve economy of scale through standardisation and consolidation. Strategic, operational and tactical reserve stock levels will be determined through a risk-based approach to ensure that the characteristics of demand and supply are aff ordably reconciled. ###### ASSET MANAGEMENT MOVABLE CAPITAL ASSETS, CAPITAL INVESTMENTS, REHABILITATION AND MAINTENANCE OF PHYSICAL ASSETS Continuing funding constraints have severely impacted on the maintenance of Defence equipment and infrastructure, giving rise to a serious maintenance backlog, which impacts directly on the operational readiness of the SANDF and its ability to provide, prepare, employ and support forces. The DOD has instituted various programmes to - Verify its stockholding of movable capital assets and inventory; - Improve the accuracy of asset and inventory information; - Be able to accurately disclose the depreciated value of its assets; - Verify the footprint of immoveable assets; - Determine the condition of immoveable assets in order to plan for their refurbishment and maintenance, as well as to accurately disclose their value; and - Establish a works capability to enable the DOD to eventually perform fi rst and second line maintenance of own facilities and infrastructure. Military Integrated Environmental Management will be applied to minimise the DOD’s impact on the physical environment. ----- ###### RESOURCE PLANS ###### LOGISTIC PLAN 1. The DOD plans to acquire the following capital assets during the MTEF period for FY 2010 / 11 to FY 2012 / 2013: Table 32: Capital Assets for FY 2010 to FY 2012/2013 Serial Description 2010 / 11 2011 / 12 2012 / 13 No R’000 R’000 R’000 A B C D 1 Immovable Assets (GDA), Folio 01 440 025 986 94 527 285 99 253 649 2 Moveable Assets (GDA), Folio 01 346 159 972 361 369 896 746 302 766 3 Special Defence Account (SDA), Folio 02 2 930 710 414 4 364 272 088 4 578 676 911 2. Based on sales trends and past performance, Armscor and the Department estimate that the following income will be generated from sales of equipment.

Based on SANDF priorities allocated by Chief of Joint Operations (CJ Ops) combined with the prevalent industrial capability, as well as the particular approval status and strategy of individual projects, Chief of Defence Matériel (C Def Mat) schedules update and renewal projects within the limits of the MTEF allocation agreed upon for weapon systems and technology development. The medium term focus of Defence Acquisition will be on acquiring new equipment and upgrading existing equipment, as prioritised by CJ Ops, to support ordered commitments assigned to the SANDF. Parallel to this, specifi c technology programmes are pursued to ensure the retention of the required technology base for eff ective local participation in scheduled acquisition programmes, in addition to applying these technologies to optimise the remaining life of existing equipment. During the medium term, Army Acquisition will focus on the fi nalisation of the commissioning of some of the armour, rapid deployment, armoured personnel carrier and light machine gun capabilities. Furthermore specifi c focus will be directed to satisfy the short term requirement priorities of the SA Army, such as the mortar, operational earthmoving, night vision and anti-tank capabilities. ----- The Air Force Acquisition portfolio includes, amongst others, projects funded by the Strategic Defence Package (SDP) deals and also some projects with ring-fenced funding and/or foreign co-investment. Some of these systems will play an integral role in the SANDF’s participation in providing security for the 2010 FIFA World Cup event. The following SDP’s are near completion of the acquisition process: - 24 dual seat Hawk fi ghter training aircraft – all aircraft and most support equipment are delivered to the SA Air Force (SAAF). - Nine dual seat and 17 single seat Gripen fi ghter aircraft – the dual seat aircraft have been delivered to the SAAF whilst delivery of the single seat aircraft will continue throughout the year. - 30 A109 Light Utility Helicopters (LUH) – all aircraft have been delivered to the SAAF and the project will be completed in the year. FY 2010/11 will also see the handing-over for full operational utilisation to the SA Navy of four Super Lynx Maritime Helicopters to augment the operational capability of the Valour class Frigates of the SA Navy. The programme aimed at providing a heavy lift transport capability for the SANDF by acquiring eight A400M airlift aircraft was terminated by Cabinet in December 2009. The major contributing factors for this decision are excessive timescale slippages, increased cost and technical risks. Chief of the SA Air Force has been requested to do a complete needs analysis ito the need for a heavy lift transport capability. With the SA Navy’s SDP projects approaching completion during the medium term, having operationalised four Meko 200 Frigates and delivering three Class 209 Type 1400 Submarines, the focus of Naval Acquisition will be directed at upgrading and sustaining the SA Navy’s off -shore patrol and hydrographic capabilities, as well as addressing the gaps within its mine warfare core capability and Port/Unit Security environment. In order to ensure optimised Defence spending, as well as optimised industrial potential to guarantee cost-eff ective through-life support of defence equipment, the Division embarked on an enhanced communication strategy with the Defence Industry. The fourth Defence Industry Day will be held in FY 2010/11 with its main purpose to enhance open communication between all role players and to indicate future acquisition and technology requirements. The Division, together with the Department of Public Enterprises, is actively involved with the recapitalisation programme of DENEL ###### SERVICE DELIVERY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMME In line with the guidelines from the Department of Public Service and Administration, the DOD has identifi ed programmes and projects that embrace service delivery.

In March 2009 an amount of R658 000 was paid towards the mobilisation fee for the feasibility and procurement phase of the PPP. ###### AIR DEFENCE PROGRAMME It is envisaged to establish a PPP for the commercial co-use of Air Force Base Ysterplaat, to reduce the cost of ownership of the base to the State. The PPP process in the DOD has been stopped due to the high cost of appointing Transactional Advisors. The project to appoint a Transactional Advisor for a feasibility study on the possible co-use of Air Force Base Ysterplaat has been registered with the National Treasury. The process to obtain funding from the DOD has been initiated via the Financial Management Division. ###### MARITIME DEFENCE PROGRAMME The South African Navy is currently involved with two PPPs. The fi rst is for the creation of a Sea Safety Training Centre for the Navy. The feasibility study for this PPP is complete, however it must still pass through the various committees for approval. The second PPP with which the Navy is involved is a new Navy Headquarters building and Naval Mess. The Transaction Advisers have nearly completed the feasibility study. It is envisaged that Phase One of both the PPPs will be completed by the end of FY 09/10. The Unitary Fee for the two PPPs appears to be very expensive and the SA Navy will not be able to aff ord it. A decision whether to proceed with the PPPs will be made at the end of Phase One. ###### SOUTH AFRICAN MILITARY HEALTH SERVICE PROGRAMME The PPP for Clinical Service Delivery will be operationalised in FY 2010/11. This will result in the SAMHS having access in eight regions to private health care facilities to admit patients at special tariff s. Patients will be treated in these facilities by SAMHS medical offi cers. The PPP for a new Military Health Training Formation is still in the developmental stage. A tender will be advertised to appoint a transactional advisor for the project in the FY 2010/11 and it is foreseen that the feasibility study will be concluded by the end of the fi nancial year. A Transaction Advisor was appointed for the new SAMHS Headquarters and the feasibility study will be concluded by October 2010. Thereafter the next phase of the project will commence. ----- ###### PUBLIC ENTITIES REPORTING TO THE EXECUTIVE AUTHORITY ###### NATIONAL DEFENCE FORCE SERVICE COMMISSION Since the approval of the Interim National Defence Force Service Commission (INDFSC) by Cabinet on 9 September 2009, the announcement of the INDFSC on 21 September 2009 and the appointment of the Commissioners on 1 October 2009, the INDFSC has adopted, and started to execute, a programme of action to give eff ect to its Terms of Reference. Two of the most important aspects within the Terms of Reference are that the INDFSC has to, fi rstly and secondly, make recommendations to the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans on the establishment of a permanent National Defence Force Service Commission (NDFSC) (Military Service Commission), inclusive of its terms of reference, functions, staff components, relationship with Parliament, reporting responsibilities and oversight role. The Strategic Plan of the NDFSC is prepared in terms of the Treasury Regulations. This Strategic Plan guides the work of the NDFSC and serves as basis for an assessment of its performance by stakeholders over the MTEF period 2010/2011 to 2012/2013. In fulfi lling its complex and involved mandate, the INDFSC regards conditions of service within the military context as an extended concept, being broader than merely encompassing salaries and allowances. The Executive Authority has entrusted the NDFSC to investigate, provide expert advice and make recommendations regarding remuneration and the conditions of service of members of the SANDF and, secondly, to make recommendations to the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans on the establishment of a permanent NDFSC. It seeks to cover vast and new ground relating to the appropriateness of remuneration patterns inherited from our pre-democracy past. The fi rst step is to gain insight into the objective content of the job of every member of the SANDF; that is the nature, powers and responsibilities that the job entails, the complexity of the decisions required and their impact or infl uence at the workplace and in the broader public. To that end, the INDFSC has to compile job profi les for all SANDF individual ranks or as part of a class. The second purpose of the review is to understand the relative content of the jobs. This implies a measure of ranking or grading of the respective jobs by their relative content, complexity, infl uence, seniority and status. The third and perhaps most complex principal task of this review is to fi nd and adopt appropriate remuneration benchmarks; that is justifi able, transparent and objective yardsticks against which the actual levels of remuneration are compared and ultimately set at various levels of the graded positions and their military uniqueness. The fourth aim of this review is to introduce a total cost to employer remuneration regime that will render the overall annual salary bill of the SANDF transparent and predictable, whilst at the same time allowing members of the SANDF the fl exibility to structure their remuneration packages outside the ambit of the Public Service Bargaining Council. ----- ###### STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE ANNUAL TARGETS FOR FY 2010/11 TO FY 2012/13 PERFORMANCE INDICATORS AND ANNUAL TARGETS Targets for the budget year and over the MTEF period for each strategic objective specifi ed in NDFSC the Strategic Plan are indicated in Table 34 below.
