BackgroundIn order to interrupt a planned raid into South-West Africa/Namibia from Angola by PLAN's Charlie detachment, the SADF planned an operation into Angola on 15 September 1985 to counter the proposed incursion.[1]{{rp|Chp11}} This would be the first deliberate operation into Angola since Operation Askari with strict instructions to avoid FAPLA forces.[1]{{rp|134}} 500 men of 101 Battalion and Puma, Alouette and Impala aircraft of the SAAF, would sweep the areas between Evale, Anhanca and Dova for the PLAN units.[2]{{rp|Ch11}} In nine separate contacts and one air attack, the SADF killed 15 PLAN soldiers and captured 103 with the operation ending on 22 September.[2]{{rp|Chp11}}[1]{{rp|134}} Order of battleSouth African and South West Africa Territorial Forces
