Origin[]
1 Special Training Unit had a similar function as the World War 2 era PT Branch but for the South Africa Coloured Corps recruits.
The badge was based on Doc (Lt Col) Danie Cravens Physical Training Brigade at Kimberly during World War 2, the aim to build up under nourished and understrength recruits (as a result of the great Depression) The badge represented the Greek discus thrower (Diskobolus) from which the base and the post office got its name.
