25 Apr 1983 Calolola

On 25 April, Alpha, Echo and Golf companies, five of 32's reconnaissance teams, a mortar group from the State President's Guard and an engineer element were deployed in the Calolola area. A company from 44 Parachute Brigade was placed on standby. Radio intercepts had indicated a possible SWAPO base 20 km north of Cuvelai. If close reconnaissance confirmed this, it would be attacked on 5 May – Operation Dolfyn
