Klein Karoo 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.
Uniondale Commando amalgamated with Willowmore Commando around 1976 to form Klein Karoo Commando.
In 1997, the unit amalgamated with Oudtshoorn Commando keeping the name Klein Karoo. Towns under this command now included Joubertina, Uniondale, Willowmore and Steylerville.
This unit was primarily used for area force protection and stock theft control assistance to the local police.
This unit, along with all other Commando units was disbanded after a decision by South African President Thabo Mbeki to disband all Commando Units. [1] [2] 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. [3]
