Abstract: | This article traces the status and content of military history as a subject at the South African Military Academy, since the institution's inception in 1950. It also explores the relevance of the Academy's military history curricula with a view to South Africa's historic threat perception and the changing role of its defence force. In conclusion an evaluation is presented of the requirements and challenges which Military History faces at the Military Academy in the twenty-first century. Ref., sum. in English and Afrikaans.
