SWAPO Special Forces (Guerilla Forces)*
*
SouthWest African People's Organization (SWAPO) had two types of forces: conventional and guerilla. SWAPO began guerrilla military operations in September 1965, and conventional military operations in 1976.*
*
The UN Resolution of 1989 halted military engagements and began the process of elections and nation building. A constitution was adopted in February 1990, and the first free and fair elections were held in Namibia. SWAPO came to power after the elections with Dr Sam Nujoma as the first president of the independent Republic of Namibia on 21st March 1990.  Thereafter the SWAPO military forces merged with elements of the South West African Territory Force (SWATF) and became the Namibian military.*

This Special Forces formation should only be purchased one to a "Front."  A "Front" is equal to one-to-five Detachments (i.e. generally all Detachments operating on a single game map constitute a "Front").*
