| Regiment Vanderbijlpark - (1 members)
Regiment Vanderbijlpark was originally known as the Vanderbijlpark Commando which itself had originated as a shooting commando in 1953 when it divided from the Vereeniging Commando. The Vanderbijlpark Commando was formally militarised in 1961 when all members received their Force Numbers and placed in companies. From 1961 to 1969 the unit was responsible for the security of Vanderbijlpark and ISCOR, the Iron and Steel Corporation of South Africa facilities. The unit was officially reclassified a regiment on 31 January 1986, and received Freedom of Entry to Vanderbijlpark on 20 February 1982 and exercised its right.
