The Ciskei Defence Force was formed in March 1981 from the South African Defence Force's 141 Battalion. Ciskei became a nominally independent homeland on 4 December 1981. The CDF was a separate statutory force from the SADF, with headquarters at Jong'umsobomvu (later Bhisho), two infantry battalions, and an air wing at Bulembu that included a parachute company. It was amalgamated into the South African National Defence Force on 27 April 1994 when Ciskei was reincorporated into South Africa.
