10 Artillery Brigade was a South African Defence Force formation designed for mass artillery barrages, mainly for the 7 South African Infantry Division or 8 South African Armoured Division, as well as an ad hoc formation during Operation Prone, when needed and detached and reattached where required. Smaller components would then be used at the battlegroup level.
