With the SADF
The unit was renamed in 1962. The unit was located in Grahamstown.
The area covered by this unit included Alexandria, Albany, Bathurst, Craddock, Fort Beaufort, Keiskammahoek, Pearston, Peddie and Somerset East.
By 1968 the area of the Midland Commando was reduced to the magisterial district of Albany, Alexandria and Bathurst.
During this era, the unit was mainly used for area force protection, search and cordones as well as stock theft control assistance to the local police.
Association with the Winterberg Commando
The Winterberg Commando was founded in Adelaide in 1948. That units area of responsibility was significantly large on the outset, and two further commandos namely Katberg and Midland Commandos were developed.[1]
