It formed part of the South African Army Infantry Formation as well as the South African Territorial Reserve. HistoryOriginCommandos from the Graaff Reinet area are some of the earliest examples of civil defence in South Africa, as they can be traced back to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Frontier Wars. [1] OperationsWith the Cape ColonySecond Frontier WarWith the threat of increased Xhosa penetration into the Zuurveld. In 1793 a large-scale war was triggered when frontiersmen join Ndlambe, a regent of the Western Xhosas, in their war against the Gunukwebe clans. Two Government commandos under the landdrosts of Graaff-Reinet and Swellendam penetrated into Xhosa territory as far as the Buffalo River and capturing cattle, but were unable to clear the Zuurveld. [2] The Ngqika RebellionOn 3 January 1878 the Burgher Act was published which enabled the government to call out burgher commandos.[3][4] With the UDFBy 1940, rifle associations were under control of the National Reserve of Volunteers. These rifle associations were re-designated as commandos by 1948. With the SADFDuring this era, the unit was mainly used for area force protection, search and cordones as well as stock theft control assistance to the rural police. With the SANDFDisbandmentThis unit, along with all other Commando units was disbanded after a decision by South African President Thabo Mbeki to disband all Commando Units.[5][6] The Commando system was phased out between 2003 and 2008 "because of the role it played in the apartheid era", according to the Minister of Safety and Security Charles Nqakula.[7] Unit InsigniaLeadership{{Post-start|caption=Leadership|float=}}{{Post-header|post-name=Honorary Colonels}}{{Post-header|post-name=Commanding Officers}}{{Post-header|post-name=Regimental Sergeants Major}}{{Post-end}}References1. ^http://scientiamilitaria.journals.ac.za/pub/article/view/954 2. ^https://www.sahistory.org.za/article/eastern-cape-wars-dispossession-1779-1878 3. ^file:///C:/Users/mrc21645/OneDrive%20-%20concor.co.za/Downloads/152-637-1-PB.pdf 4. ^https://www.eggsa.org/newspapers/index.php/grahamstown-journal/1402-grahamstown-journal-1878-3-july-to-september 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.issafrica.org/Pubs/ASR/6No2/VanStade.html |title=Rationalisation in the SANDF: The Next Challenge |accessdate=5 March 2015 |year=1997 |author=Col L B van Stade, Senior Staff Officer Rationalisation, SANDF |publisher=Institute for Security Studies |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160316204323/https://issafrica.org/pubs/asr/6no2/vanstade.html |archivedate=16 March 2016 |df= }} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.saps.gov.za/statistics/reports/rural_safety/eng/pages/no2e.htm |title=About the Commando system |accessdate=2008-01-17 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071206150052/http://www.saps.gov.za/statistics/reports/rural_safety/eng/pages/no2e.htm |archivedate=2007-12-06 |df= }} 7. ^{{cite web|last1=de Lange|first1=Deon|title=South Africa: Commandos Were 'Hostile to New SA'|url=http://allafrica.com/stories/200805290408.html|work=Cape Argus|accessdate=5 March 2015|subscription=yes}} See also
