Jacobsdal Commando

Jacobsdal Commando was a light infantry regiment of the South African Army. It formed part of the South African Army Infantry Formation as well as the South African Territorial Reserve.

The Commando was present at the Battle of Graspan

By 1902 all Commando remnants were under British military control and disarmed.

By 1912, however previous Commando members could join shooting associations.

By 1940, such commandos were under control of the National Reserve of Volunteers.

These commandos were formally reactivated by 1948.

During this era, the commando was mainly used for area force protection, search and cordones as well as stock theft control assistance to the rural police.

The unit resorted under the command of Group 26.
