Abstract

ABSTRACT The South African National Defence Force (SANDF) has been faced with a declining budget for many years, resulting in the deterioration of prime mission equipment, inability to upgrade critical infrastructure, and a very limited capacity to recruit, train, maintain, and deploy forces. This paper argues that the military can alleviate the impact of budgetary constraints through a systematic and structured sweating of land assets under its control. It articulates the rationale for embarking on such an initiative, while proposing approaches and models for the decision-making process. It also highlights the risks of inaction based on precedents in other countries.

南非国防土地资产的开发和价值提取:当前范式的重新审视

摘要南非国防军（SANDF）多年来一直面临预算下降的问题，导致主要任务装备恶化，无法升级关键基础设施，招募、训练、维护和部署部队的能力非常有限。本文认为，军队可以通过对其控制下的土地资产进行系统和结构化的流汗来缓解预算限制的影响。它阐述了开展这一举措的理由，同时提出了决策过程的方法和模式。它还强调了基于其他国家先例而不采取行动的风险。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
