=== Security and forced labor ===

Security cooperation between the Namibian puppet government and the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen focused on border monitoring, internal surveillance, transport security, and the protection of mining and port sites. Namibian police and military liaison officers worked with Tanoan personnel attached to the African regional command.

Some detainees in Namibia were transferred into wider Tanoan detention and forced labor systems. These transfers involved political prisoners, accused resistance supporters, criminal detainees, and people classified by security offices as unreliable. Forced labor was used for construction, transport maintenance, mining support, camp labor, and logistical work connected to the Tanoan regional system.

The Namibian administration did not operate every detention site directly. Local police, prison officials, Tanoan liaison personnel, and attached security units shared responsibility depending on the location and purpose of the facility. After 2024, records from this system became part of investigations into collaboration, forced labor transfers, illegal detention, and abuse of prisoners.
