category
Part of
Generic Regiment-field text used across hundreds of records whose actual unit is a specific local Commando (e.g. Rustenburg Commando, Boksburg Commando -- captured in Unit). Post-WWII, "Commando" is its own force-component category alongside Regular/Permanent Force and Active Citizen Force -- area-bound, part-time reserve units tied to a specific district, mobilised for local counter-insurgency/area protection duties during the Border War era. Not a single regiment; this Status applies to the whole category.

Research notes
Col (rt) Graham du Toit Last Post 21 Aug 2026: 98235013KV Rifleman Maloma, Pietersburg Commando, killed as a passenger in a police vehicle that overturned after a collision with a civilian vehicle during a patrol at Jane Furse, age 26. First name not given — First Name Unknown left. ROH age 20 left (SN-era).
25 Sep 2026, Unit2 service-branch sweep: the stored Secondary Unit "Army" was CLEARED as a duplicate. It was not a sub-unit, it was a service-branch word repeating what the Branch column already says. Secondary Unit is for sub-units -- a company, a squadron, a commando -- and this record's branch of service is unchanged at "Army".
