History
The Directorate Armour was established in 1972 with Brig J.R. Dutton as first Director. The Directorate Armour was transformed during 1999 to serve as a formation headquarters with all regular force units and reserve force units under command. The SA Army Armour Formation was formally established on 1 April 1999 and CWO H.J. (Floors) Venter was appointed the first Formation Sergeant Major.
Colonel Henro Grobler, the last Director Armour, acted as the General Officer Commanding until such time that Brig Gen Chris Gildenhuys, the then appointed General Officer Commanding, returned from the United States of America where he served as defence attaché.
As the last Director Armour, Col Henro Grobler played a major role in the closing of the old directorate and in establishing the SA Army Armour Formation. He also acted as GOC from January to June 2000 while Brig Gen Gildenhuys completed ENSP.
