Army Battle School Flags

Lohatla is a training area of the South African National Defence Force. It is located in the Northern Cape province of South Africa and is home to the SA Army Combat Training Centre, which is part of the South African Army Training Formation.

The SA Army Combat Training Centre is unique in the sense that it is one of only ten such institutions in the world that provide exclusive and permanent facilities for landward warfare training. Only two of these institutions are located in the Southern hemisphere, of which the SA Army Combat Training Centre is the largest, 158 000 hectares in total.

This military training institution was founded on 15 January 1978 and was known as the South African Army Battle School.

The Battle School originated due to a need by the Department of Defence for a military training facility where conventional and integrated training on divisional level could be executed. Wikipedia
