White members of the unit usually "blacked up" with heavy applications of camouflage cream when on operations. The field cap illustrated has a 2 tails at the rear that were usually worn tucked up into the cap (or removed). The cap, shirt and trousers are in the unique 32 Bn camouflage summer pattern.

This NCO wears the SWA SF load carrying vest. The front and upper back are made of nylon mesh; there are 2 large front and 2 slightly smaller side pouches of drab web material, which extends right round to the rear to form a single large pouch across the lower back.

Hidden from view in the illustration is a pouch for the A-76 radio, slung from a narrow web waist belt; and he also carries a Chinese canteen on a web sling.

His weapons are an AKM assault rifle with a 30-round bakelite magazine fitted and an M79 40mm grenade launcher - a rare instance of Western weapons being used by this unit - with its grenades in a bandolier (here slung over the right shoulder).
