During this era, the commando was mainly used for area force protection, search and cordons, as well as stock theft control assistance to the rural police.
The unit resorted under the command of Group 36.
This unit, along with all other Commando units was disbanded after a decision by South African President Thabo Mbeki to disband all Commando Units.
